Stripping/painting engine compartment and under hood
Cuda Al has it right,
Do not overall blast the hood with Sand. it will distort, (spoken from experience with water blasting). unless you can protect the under skin while doing the frame, do not blast
I would avoid removing the factory paint, just block it down like primer and fix the bad spots. I did a localized sandblasting on the battery area. Anywhere you hit metal primer those areas first.
