Paint stripper, Soda blast, Wire wheel, Scourer disc, Acid dip.

If you use paint stripper, cover it with glad wrap, it stays wet longer and you use less stripper.

let me know how you go,

Im planning on doing the same on mine.

was planning on using a wire brush on a grinder for the flakey and rusty bits and then just cleaning up the other bits where the paint is still sound.

I dont think I could go through the effort of getting it all off without a sand blaster.

What would getting it sandblasted cost?

use a decent paint stripper and there is no need for anything else other than a decent wash pm me for a price if you need
