Back in '08-'09, I had my TR3 body tub and frame blasted at a local powder coating company. $300 each. They blasted every square inch with crushed garnet. The tub was stripped of every bolt-on part. In two different visits, I set up both items on my makeshift engine stand rotisserie, with custom attachments, to make it a lot easier for them and the best outcome. Worth every penny and more.

Skip this part if you can and have a company do this work. You might even consider a mobile unit come to you. Different media can be used depending on paint or rust. Special care has to be taken on body parts, not to warp them, but if the person has a little finesse, any harm can be avoided.

The important part of good blasting is high CFM from the compressor. If you don't have enough CFM, you'll be working way too hard for way too long.

I stripped a TR4 years ago over the course of I don't remember how many evenings after work, using several gallons of paint stripper bought at closeout tool store, saying never again and wishing I had a sandblaster.

There was a time when I couldn't wait to learn how to run the cotton picker at work. It got old kind of quick...But it still beat a day in the office in front of the computer.
