Hello All,
Trying to get prepared to finish all of the reinforcement work on the body and decided that it would be a good idea to do a little sand blasting to clean things up a bit. I've seen units from $199 - $3000. And visually can't see any difference in them. I've seen blast media from sand to walnut shells to soda. Can somebody that has used these on a car tell me what is the best buy for a poor homeowner that wants to have a unit to use more than once but doesn't want to spend the motherlode. and the best overall media. Any help would be appreciated. Off to ball practicefor my kids. Be back to look at this in a bit. Thanks. |

Lots of good info here. I read Sir Andys thread and looking at the photos sandblasting is OUT! I do live in Alabama so mosture will be a problem with soda. I will have to get a good system for drying the air to go that method. I will be able to sand the car for the most part. It is mostley rust free with exception to some small areas. The hell hole even looks great. The main thing I was thing about was getting the shoots off the under side and the excess blobs of seam sealer so I can clean this area up also. I bought Armondo Serono's rotisserie and want to do it right. Paid a hell of a lot of money for it but if the two cars that I am going to do turn out really nice it will be worth it.
OK.... Let me redirect.. What is the best method for cleaning off the shoots and seam sealer? |
