An alternative to both blasting and dipping is to strip the paint using a Contour SCT surface conditioning tool by Eastwood Auto Restoration supplies. They do a great job and are very fast. It takes about 10 minutes per panel to strip the surface down to the bare metal. The metal is left with a surface finish similar to an 80 grit DA sanding. The wheels are sort of soft so they don't do any damage to the character lines. The best part is, no blasting grit or messy chemicals left behind. Good luck with your project.
