I still haven't decided if I'm going to remove my old paint or not, as I'm several years away from getting it painted anyway. But, I was at Autorama a couple years ago and talked to some of the guys at the exhibits for places that did sand blasting for the hot rod crowd. Several of them were wary of sand blasting the aluminum part of the coach, due to the relative softness of the aluminum. They thought it would work fine on the SMC part. They said soda blasting might be better than sandblasting, and also thought chemical stripping might not be a bad way to go.
