20 years as a painter and then 20 as the local paint guy.

1.Rust gets almost everywhere, sand gets almost everywhere, acid almost gets everywhere.

2.The only people who had a chance at this not rusting back were the Germans 50 years ago when the metal was still pristine. If you have a 10 year old pickup truck you know about rust between two pieces of metal.

3. I stripped my outer panels with liquid and mechanical. Don't sandblast outer panels. You will warp them. The inner panels I did a combo of liquid, wire brush and mechanical.then sand blasting.

4. The Eastwood thing works great on truck frame rails. Not these body panels.

5. it either time or dollars,

6. blowing the sand out takes time. less with two airlines.Less with a spit. I spun mine every night and still got sand. I did a drag car years ago and everytime the wheels come back down, sand falls.

How much is dipping? you MUST get the primer dipped also.

Kevin,

Sounds as the voice of experience, there is no easy answer. I can recall blasting a pre-A speedster in the early 1970's with silica (without a mask) and there was sand everywhere, probably still is
