Eric:
My only comment is tell them to "BE CAREFUL"! It is incredibly easy to warp
those large panels (the roof is particularly bad) with a heavy duty
sandblaster. I did it myself and thought I was doing everything right
(shooting at an angle, not too close) but still had some warpage that
required a lot of time to fix. I would think the sides on a suburban might
also be prone to warpage.
