Hey Stef, what happened? Sand paper clog on one of your fender repair jobs? Couldn't match the color on your customers Honda Accord? Ah, the blues of a HIGH END collision shop.LOL! Did it really take you 3 days since the last post on this thread to think of your ROCKET SCIENTIST opinion?
Strip or blast - either way is fine. Most of the people on these threads DON'T have access to a blaster so I went with what the average person would have easily available to them - which is the stripper. If I did blast it, it wouldn't be with SAND. I'd use the plastic bead. Done properly - either way is fine. I've never had one lift. Sorry you can only afford to use SAND.LOL.
I didn't realize that you don't put much effort in prepping for paint. The Purple power rules. Comes off easy with the steam pressure washer and removes EVERYTHING in it's way. It's not good for washing your hands with though. Read the labels Stef - read the labels.
Now get back to the Accord!

your weak cheap shots are nothing more than weak cheap shots,
how do you assume I meant sandblasting? There is a wide variety of blasting media, I wasn't born yesterday, but feel free to send me a truck load of blasting media since I'm so poor and you're so rich, I let you choose, just don't bring sand, I can get it here for free .
I just saw this thread in afternoon, unlike you, I have better things to do that troll on c-c all day and put your .02 cents in every thread to bump up your thread count while trying attempt to make yourself look better that everyone,but all I see is a tool
Do you wear a full astronaut suit when spraying your Purple Cleaner? you're gonna tell me you never had it splash or spray on your hands by accident?
our OP is a pro, so I'm sure he has access to a blaster
tell you the truth ,I don't remember last time I worked on Accord,I did however put in many hours recently making and welding new panels from scratch on 55 Porsche 356 Speedster,still alot of work to do,just finished minitubbing, welding USCar Tool connectors,relocating leaf springs on 69 Dart, ART torque boxes just came in, so I'll weld those in soon, BTW, I blasted the whole car inside out,used etching primer and epoxy primer, is that wrong approach? Oh, but today I finished installing all components in the engine bay of a Supra after painting the engine bay, BTW, I used a scuff pad, was that bad? Maybe I should have use a stripper or blast instead of scuffing the original dust coat of what supposed to be paint?
