Well I'm getting ready to wet sand blast (WSB) my project car and I wanted some input form those who have done it and or have some direct or indirect experience with it. I purchased a wet sand blasting kit from a company back east. I tried a sample piece and was thoroughly impressed. I was able to remove the paint down to bare metal on the underside floor in under 5 minutes. It was incredibly fast. The primer that I am using is an epoxy primer by SPI. I spoke with the manufacturer and they said to steer away from using a rust convertor as they can be very tricky to remove from seams. They also said to just blast it and spray it the next day. The flash rust will not be a problem. What has been your experience

Well I got busy wet blasting the 914. Ran out of sand (2000lbs). 90% complete. The blaster worked flawlessly not a single clog after blasting through 2000lbs of sand. Did not use hold tight. Spoke with my paint manufacturer and they said flash rust is not a problem for epoxy primer. Just hit it with scotch brite and a cleaner that they provide. Steered away from rust convertors or soda or anything that I would have to neutralize either acid or base.

If you supplier says otherwise, obviously go with that. Zach |
