Cleaning some paint of the fenders

Have been cleaning my fenders before I send them over to mediablaster to clean all the edges that I cant reach with this disc below. It works perfectly!!! After media blast they are of to a sheetmetal guy that will help me fixing some dings.

Rear left fender, sheet metal bumping #1

Ok now the undercoating was removed and it was time to adress the dings and dents all over the fenders. Started to sand of some of the color to get a visual view of where the high and low spots where located. Remember this is the very first time I am trying sheet metal dent repair, so be patient with me ;-)

Here we have a pretty smooth low spot that I started out with. 

Front fenders, undercoating removal #1

As the rear fenders was in really good condition and it showed that some previous owner had patched them in some lokation and then sprayed them with a good amount of primer I hesitated to clean the inside of the front fenders, but when I saw that they had only sprayed over the fender to hood rubber bump stops I decided to strip the front fenders aswell. 

Rear fenders, paint stripping #2

Damn 24 hours later and the paint hasn´t risen yet, I guess the former owner had putten on a 2K primer, I was a bit dissapointed and decided to take the parts out for a wash to get all the paint stripper off. But wait a minute......

Rear fenders, paint stripping #1

Time for some paint stripper to get down to bare metal.
