My neighbor is friends with a guy that does soda blasting. He is going to call him and see if he can get me some kind of a deal

. Be sure to wet sand and polish it after a week. Like the color!

...Its not a perfect job but its 100% better than what it was. Black, blue, and pink weren't my favorite colors. Thanks to everyone who came through with the help/info for my project. Its an unasuming color from a distance, but up close in the light its pretty nice. As far as wet sanding what grit should I start with?

That depends on what it looks like. Is there any orange peel? (when the surface is bumpy like an orange rind)

I have a little, but most of it went away as the paint dried.
