I am getting ready to do my Bennett 76 and my bodyshop wants to chemical strip the panels instead of sandblasting. I have had a few blasted and have had no problems but I'm not so sure on the use of chemicals on the surface rust. Will it even eat it out and will I have a rust problem down the road??? Also it will not be dipped but hand applied.
I would think hand applied chemical rust/paint removal would be more labor intensive than blasting. If they are not dipping it I don't see the advantage..unless they're not experienced at blasting on panels. Maybe they are afraid of warping them..which means they may need to change what media they usually use.
