Hi all,
I'm looking for some sand blasting advice. What media do you recommend, and how can I avoid warppage? What do you recommend to coat the sandblasted metal with? I purchased a 20lbs HF sand blaster and I'm planning on doing this myself |

Don't use sand or other hard material on body panels. It will warp and/or work-harden the sheet metal. Soda is a better blast media.
Blast media of any type will infiltrate every nook and cranny in your car. There are better, more gentler ways to remove paint - like paint stripper. Sherwood PS: for generic automotive questions like this, I'd source a broader source of information, like a body and paint forum. MHO. |
