Greg, where did you get the needle scaler? I've never seen one. Wish I'd seen this picture a few months ago when I felt like I was married to the heat gun, putty knife and wire wheel. Wire wheel is really fast but is probably the dirties job and you have to use a dust mask. I'm still working on the frame rails. (Our wives are right, we have lost it)

What do you have planned for refinishing the bare metal? I was thinking of doing a solvent wash to remove the remaining residue and leaving the paint that was under the factory undercoat for more protection and considered using truck bed liner spray...not sure if I will like that look or should just do a two part paint with hardener. The paint will look better but will chip, scratch etc.

Nevermind, I just googled needle scaler and northern tool has them for $39!...I'm ordering one today.
