SPI Durability/Removal

About 8 years ago I did my 85 CJ-7 from the metal up using all SPI and Diamont basecoat. The inside was epoxy only.

Long story short, I had the thing in a thousand pieces when I was notified that I had to move across the state in two weeks. I did a quick job, knowing that it would come back to haunt me later on. After 8 years of driving on the beach and sitting outside, it was starting to bubble. A few months ago one of my buddies got a dustless blasting system, so last weekend I hauled the Jeep up to him to strip it.

When he finished he said "that SPI is some good stuff." He said that my Jeep was the hardest vehicle he's had to strip yet. Needless to say, it's going to get more SPI this go around. Thanks for a great line of products.
 
One thing that I have noticed on my parts: Back this past summer I was removing edp coatings off my replacement panels and spraying with 2 coats of SPI epoxy. Now I'm doing some welding and in a few areas I have had to remove the epoxy where I'm welding at. After a few months of curing you really have to work at just cleaning off a small area, nothing like that cheap edp that was previously on the panel.
 
If you do a blasting test on SPI vs. PPG's DP series the results are laughable
