whats the best way to strip a mini fown?

im looking to get the car sandblasted but am unsure as to how much this would cost?

is this the best way to strip the paint or is there a home DIY method that could be used?

if the cost isnt to much to have it sandblasted id rather dismantle the car and sent it on its merry way to be done by someone else!

thanks

I'm sure sandblasting can distort panels? Why not buy/borrow a dual action sander?

you really dont want to sand blast a mini as its likely to dent panels and work harden the steel which can result in the steel cracking.

there are several other blast options which aint as harsh including soda blasting.

if you got the time then either paint stripper or some abrasive pads on a drill/grinder will get it done

ummm ok then so sandblasting is off! can anyone recommend a paint stripper, or you recommend using sandpaper?
