Ron, This is exactly what I have heard of from other people as well. When you have the time, I would like to see a few pictures of what you went through if you wouldn't mind sending them to me. Keep in mind I am on a dial-up though.

Greg On the Yellow D project car many of you saw in Memphis, we used media blasting to remove the 20 year old red paint to prepare for the Millenium Corvette Yellow. Our experience with media blasting was excellant. The shop recommended against the sand blasting because of the excessive abrasion and extra heat generated. When all was said and done the car could have been easily regrained with a Scotch Brite pad. I have some pics I could send that show the T panel partially regrained... had to force myself to stop because we knew we would be painting it. The media blasting will not hurt most plastic or rubber parts but it may give them a frosted look. Glass must be completely covered or it will be frosted. The clean up is not bad but remember those beads are extremely small and get into every little nook and cranny. Also keep in mind the media blasting, at least for us, would not work on the facias. It just bounces off. Our shop ended up using a product that the Corvette shops use to remove the paint from the facia. Sorry dont know the brand or name but Im sure a Vette specific shop could point you in the right direction. Ron Gullwing Magazine Yahoo!
