When prepping a car for sandblasting, what is the common thing to do with the aluminum tags in the front trunk and door pillar?
I suppose the second question would be do I acid dip the car or get it sandblasted? |

Had our current- build blasted with garnet sand. The media blast co. said that the 914 has the softest metal of all Porsches.
The grit + psi needs to be just right to avoid blasting damage. Yes we are pulling sand out with vacuum cleaners + blowing it out too...but the unibody looks brand new, and welds like a dream ! Marty |
