Yep, ignore my thoughts. Getting a car back from the sandblaster like I have seen COMPLETELY DISTROYED, just ignore my thoughts.

For those who rather have no issues and enjoy your build:

DO NOT SAND BLAST UNLESS YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE DOING IT REALLY KNOW HOW TO SAND BLAST SHEET METAL!

Re: Media blasting questions

Thought I would close out this post since I said I would report back. I was happy with the doors and trim that I got back from the blaster. I think they dipped the trim as it doesn't have the surface finish as the doors. I recently dropped off a rear fender and few other parts. Working to get the cab to them, but am running out of nice weather to get it in epoxy outside so it might have to wait until the spring. Here are a few pics. I have more pics posted in my build thread.

I like one of the previous post about using an E-coat dipping. Would really liked to have that as an option on the doors....
