Can someone recommend a general blasting media for a blasting cabinet? I might go out and get one either tomorrow or the day after but i'm not sure which type of media to put in it. I want to use it to clean off the various steel and aluminum parts in these cars (probably mostly steel to strip paint and rust and then repaint stuff). I know not to use sand with aluminum parts, and the harbor freight here in town sells different grit walnut shells and glass beads.

Like a lot of things in life, no one product is going to do everything well. Anything that strips paint and rust quickly (black beauty, carbide, aluminum oxide) is going to mess up aluminum parts. Conversely, anything that cleans aluminum well (glass bead, walnut shell) is going to be slow striping paint.
FWIW, I switch between glass bead and alum oxide. |
