I'm not going to get something new though. I am going to find something super cheap and post the results so people can go the same route in the future if they choose.

Media Blasting in Lafayette
I am in the process of removing all the panels on my fj40 and sanding/stripping them down to bare metal. I found out very quickly that sanding takes forever and that stripping is very messy. My question to everyone is does anyone know of a good media blaster in Lafayette that will be able to do all my panels including the hood.
I have searched but have not been able to find anything. Help with this would be appreciated.

Pretty sure mine came from Slee but I'll check my receipt tomorrow and let you know. Wrapped with conduent plastic for extra chafing guard seems to help as well. Mine rub on all kinds of stuff under the truck and the extra plastic saves $$$ in the long run.

I use S&S coatings in Youngville and have for several years. He does sandblasting on body parts, engine parts, bumpers both sets of the wheels on the 78 and 80 and whatever I need. He's close and inexpensive. His primary jobs are oil field so I usually drop off my parts an put them in a shed and he'll blast them and prime as he get time. We did use a guy on the Northside to do the frame on what is now Brian's 40 blasted and primed for $150 but don't remember who it was?
S&S's info if you want it.

Media Blasting
Volunteer,
How did the panels look after they were sand blasted and primed. I don't want there to be a whole lot of imperfections in the metal because of the sand. I also heard that sand blasting can cause the metal to warp. I talked to Lindsey today and he said that he would charge 200 for the Hood and both fenders. Does the price sound about right, I've never had anything sand blasted and primed before.

if ya`want the lest ruffing of the sheet metal soda media is what ya want to blast with
I actually tried the Aircraft brand stripper. It does work but it takes a ridiculous amount of time and energy. I spent about 8 hours on just my aprons and my bezel. I couldn't imagine the hell I would go through if I had to do the hood and the fenders. I am all about doing things as inexpensively as possible but not at the cost of about 2-3 weeks of my time. The only thing I can think of with the EL Camino you tube video is the paint being stripped wasn't OEM, Because mine sure as hell doesnt come off that easy.
