CJ Tub replacement
 

Finally bit the bullet and bought a new (used) CJ tub. It needs some body
work but is in much better shape than mine. A PO installed carpet in there
and I spent quite a bit of time scraping it out. Got the bulk of it off,
but a lot of glued down stuff remains.

I guess my options are sand the entire tub down or have it sandblasted.
Keep in mind I want to do the exterior and underside as well.

Question:

Any idea what I could expect to pay to have it sandblasted?

Do rental places rent sandblasters? Is it pretty easy to do yourself?

Re: CJ Tub replacement
 

Check with your local body repair shops and see if there are still
businesses that will dip your whole tub in vats of salutations, like
caustic for paint and acid for rust. I did that to my tub and it save me
at least a thousand hours. The environmentalist whackos closed the one
here, though. If you try to use sand blasting for paint removal you'll
be very disappointed.

Hi Earle,
Sand blasting works great for cutting out areas of rust on a car
body, but you'll find if you use it to remove paint you're in for that
unevenness you called "textured" in fact you'll blow a hole right though
the adjacent areas of stubborn paint chip. And I think if you used sand
blasting on these things they call Jeeps today you'll be pinning it into
a new shape.

This is a DIY operation, but you're going to get sand all over the place.
You want to remove EVERYTHING from your work area first. We used one to
strip paint in an old house once, and they are great if you like the
textured woodwork effect. ;o)
