there is a good 6 coats of paint on mine. i tried various strippers,none of them phase this stuff.

Depending on what you have for equipment. ,,,
I sandblast in a portable shelter. Taller wigwam would suit big truck. There is poly on floor for recovering media. Poly also keeps humidity out of portable
Would only be a day of blasting and likely only few hundred pounds sand. I so cheap I recover sand till it's dust
Adisiwaya Thanks this. -
i wouldn't sandblast unless it was a stripped bare cab.
-
Nut serts bad to turn in cab. Suggest tape.clausland Thanks this.
-
True enough. Tape would be easiest route.. That's the trouble with old iron, everything strips or is seized.BoxCarKidd, Adisiwaya and Oxbow Thank this.
-
Heat bolts that are stubborn. The little extra time it takes eliminates the need to drill and tap broken bolts out of nutserts .
Adisiwaya Thanks this. -
I get what your saying but Little hard sometimes. It's the nutsert that has to be heated not the bolt and there usually behind a panel you can't get too.. or worse, in fiberglass. Like everything on the roof cap of a k100. Kenworth likes to use stainless bolts and the nutserts are steel.. they corrode.BoxCarKidd and Jazz1 Thank this.
-
Go get air plane stripper. That'll strip anything bare. It'll get behind the paint.
Bolts most breaking when I try to remove. -
