[FC] Paint Removal

[Paul Steinberg]

Baking soda blasting is considered the best method because it doesn't take
everything off... only what you want..... It doesn't hurt the glass either.
If you ask them to just remove the paint and leave the primer, they will do
that.  It also isn't corrosive if there is any residue later.  The best of all
worlds... it is expensive though.... Paul in CT

  Greetings!

  I'm the new owner of a 63 Rampside; original California truck with very
sound
  body.

  Paint is original (tan) plus a coat of red; very oxidized. Some peeling and
  chipping.

  I'm considering removal of the paint myself, using sandblaster or
chemicals.

  Can anyone give me some ideas on the best approach?

  Thanks
