I was thinking that if I blasted my car, I could put the chassis on the trailer and drive around on real bumpy roads for few hundred miles(put extra air in the trailer tires to make them nice and hard).....with the chassis banging around so much, it should get most of the sand out in a short time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I talked to a shop around here about your car Andy. He told me that if I had him do a car they would put it on a spit and vacum and spin the car until it was (as good as he could get it) done. Was that done to your car?

QUOTE(seanery @ Nov 14 2003, 09:35 PM) Was that done to your car? they did clean it out (don't know the exact procedure). when we got it from the sandblaster, it was clean. the bodyshop painted it. it was clean. we trailered it back to the shop (80+ miles) and it was DIRTY. and hasn't stopped leaking sand since.

Mabey it's one of your buddys putting sand in your car for you. They can see how much you like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Mike M, trailer it up here, all our roads are bumpy. There's 3 pothole in my street that I called about getting fixed last year. Still there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Didn't think I would get anything from this thread. BUt I now feel getting my 928 painted will be MINUS sand blasting. Unless the pieces come off like fenders and can be cleaned easily.
Maybe chemical stripper to remove two layers of paint. Original and one shitty one. |

Fenders doors hood are aluminum. I was told plastic media or walnut shell?. roof, hatch, rear fenders are steel, and of course the plastic bumper caps.
