what equipment to buy for "Sandblasting"? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi Kabwe,
I'm curious, would you trust them to do something flat like the bed on my '46 and not make it wavy as hell?

I ask because I intended to go at my bed with 80 grit but its got SO much paint on it I thought it was filler when I first saw some of it flaking off. After poking at it a bit, I realized it was 64 years of paint and re-paint - not filler at all. I'm sure its all lead paint or lacquer, so probably best if I did consider getting it blasted. Opinion?
