Thanks guys. I think I'll give the needle scaler a go. It's not everyday I learn about a new tool. The Wurth DBS3600 is a little spendy for a one project hobby tool. But the Wurth sprayable and pneumatic gun is doable. I don't know why it matters since I don't plan to show this thing, but I like the idea of leaving the car looking factory fresh after I've worked on it.
Wurth and Fix a Dent have the same product, FaD is cheeper, they remove paint, rust, seam sealer and undercoat without hurting the metal and leave a good paint key, the trick is without producing heat, the death nell for sheetmetal.
This is the area not to scrimp, especially doing it your self, wirewheels are no match for the aggresive wheel, (they can be sharpened to reuse), it'll save you a LOT of time.
Find the replacement "belts" on ebay, all the same quality, look for price.
Just saying.
