Hey Guys, I have recently purchased a Pitts s1s project. Before moving forward with anything I am getting someone to come and inspect the fuselage and make sure it is all up to spec before I get started.

The first thing I wanted to do was to clean the fuselage up, I have been told to sand blast it back and then prime and paint. Was wondering if anyone could give any tips with this process, PSI settings etc so I don’t ruin the fuselage
