Acid, Sanding or Sand Blast ?

Posted by Brian on October 04, 2001 at 18:38:03 from (24.101.171.230):

I am working away at my super A. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the best way to get the parts ready for painting. I've often heard about dipping parts in an acid, and recently I notices a gallon of liquid acid at the parts store. Assuming this is the right product to use, can anyone offer some advice on if I can or cannot use a acid bath.
I have a 5 Hp compressor, but my sandblaster doesn't seem to do great job. (it's cheap)
And finally, there is good old sanding. I hate sanding especially when I could be using a tool that makes noise. However for somethings like the tank I'm wondering if it wouldn't be best.

Here's another question. The front grill and engine cover have some dents in them, some rather deep. Will I ever be able to bang them out or generally speaking is it always going to be there is some way ?
