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 |

From my own experience sand suks. I used aluminum silicate with a tarp under to collect the grit for reuse. You will need a good compressor, vary the pressure to avoid damage to the panels.
If you have some spare dollars use a professional shop that media blast with plastic beads which are far more gentle on panels, the shop can also spray primer directly onto the freshly blasted metal to stop oxidation. Soda (I have tried it) requires higher pressure and you will be surrounded in a thick fog of powder. For best results dry ice is excellent, I looked into when I renovated my 912 but is was too many $ |
