Subscribing to this one. I love the Toyota builds, especially the ones with lots of custom work!

I'm not sure I'd sand blast it unless you can control it down to a lite spray. I would worry about loosing detail on edges. Try some 00 steel wool or crocus cloth, light pressure and small circles. looking good. |
