I will probably take the door, since it is scrap anyway, and see how that turns out before having it done on any other panels. Besides, with media blasting, there are less worries about removing plastic trim, and the glue that holds the glass in; just tape it off. If it all works out then the bonus is no messy clean up from the Aircraft stripper...and no core samples. The entire car will have to be re-grained anyway. Greg Yahoo!
