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? |

This thread came up at the right time. I just met with a mobile blasting owner last week. He's going to blast both my brothers 914 and my 6 at the end of April. He came out to look at my 6 to get a good idea on what he would need to do. He said once it's on the rotisserie it'll be easy for him to blast all of the underside. He mentioned using two different media to blast the exterior and the rest of the chassis. At around $1000 per car (maybe less if less media is used) that's not too bad. It's a dustless blasting rig so water is injected with media to reduce heat. He also mixes in a rust protection chemical while blasting then a full rinse down once done. I'll post pics once it gets going here.
Once the blasting is done both cars will get an epoxy coating throughout. |
