Who has stripped their chassie and had it blasted? The good and the bad. And what did you do to the metal after it was striped? My car will be on a rotisserie for the stripping.
Thanks! |

My experience: 1) had the LE blasted with Sand & plastic. Mostly sand since there was considerable rust from the remains of fire & the water necessary to put it out. A lot of vacuuming to extricate the grit from all the small orifices but not too bad.
2) had my proj. car soda blasted. My 1st experience ..the good - remarkable fast stripping leaves a residue that unless expressly washed off & neutralized protects the bare metal . Its been a yr since sitting in my garage and barely a trace of flash rust. The bad - Too smooth finish. leaves no tooth to the metal so you must DA or scotch pad entire car before prime. Also as has been mentioned must address areas that have been bondoed rusted or have sealer which it doesnt remove. |
