Does it get rid of the rust as well??  Or is just plain old hand sanding the better technique??  Thanks everyone! -EDDIE- I have had 2 cars sandblasted, and I think it's the way to go.  Most recently is my 69 Charger.  Just DO NOT have the hood and trunk lid blasted, they will warp.  You can acid dip, the problem is coating the areas you can't reach.  They will be left bear metal and will rust again.  Want thing I will point out is, if your car does not have any deep pitted surface rust, a good sanding with 40 grit will do the job.   Tom
