The blaster will give you an estimate...i/e 250 for the frame. You'll still spend 250 if you strip 95% of it yourself....unless you specifiacally...
Interesting, but I don't think pro painters would have layed down orange peel to start with...but let's see what they say:)

I'd take it apart and have a looksy...metals that you barely see now, could get pushed through and wipe out the cam and lifters later...just...
