Hi Anthony, Im a big fan of soda blasting, It leaves the steel perfect for repainting.It is not abrasive like garnet.and will not distort the panel.
also cost effective compared to sanding , and not as messy as stripper.
should be one in your area . you will find them under abrasive blasting in the yellow pages. i dont think you will be dissapointed at the results.
