Tim, I had my s3 media blasted and it was great. I had heard all the stories about chemicals leaching so I was wary of this process. besides the media blasting was relatively cheap. it cost me $500 and they picked it up stripped it and delivered it to the paint shop. one thing, I left the suspension on for convenience and got media throughout. also, there was a lot of media in the crevices that needed to be vacuumed out. Do not sandblast. it is said to seriously deform the body panels. Use acrylic media instead. If you are seriously considering this for one of your cars give me a call. (817) 467-1017

To all you Pro's ! I haven't see any discussions on how to remove paint! Is there some pro's and con's on removing paint?? Is media blasting, better than chemicals?? Thanks!
