Is sand/media blasting a "must" ? I am planning to chemicaly strip the paint, where I can, and use good old "elbow grease" where the stripper wont work.

I would rather not pay to have it blasted... my luck is that even at a good shop I'd get the "man, we've never had that happen before!" result.

I am planning to strip chemicaly then sand any rust down, then treat rust area with Eastwood "Super Plus Oxisolv Rust Remover"

What do you think?
