In Reply to: Best way to prep cab for paint? posted by Paul on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 at 5:55PM :
I'd blast with plastic media or walnut shell. Sand will damage the metal to a certain extent but I'd be most concerned about warping the roof & the back of the cab, whether you use sand or some other media, unless you have blasted before & know exactly what you are doing.
Cabs are a problem because they are not easy to prep.
The only other option is acid dipping & it's quite expensive by the time you neutralize the acid & phosphate the metal.
I still think acid is the best, but also the most expensive process....probably about $700 for the cab alone but that's just a guess.
