Off to media blasting!

AdamInChains · Aug 18, 2006

Well i stripped most of my car by hand but the body shop is really recomending i do a full media blast to really get rid of all the rust that was starting. Car is currently gutted to the shell and went to the blasters today. Heres some pics, they're not that great they caught they came from my cell phone.

I just got my whole car suspension parts and numerous brakets media blasted and powder coated for about $650. most blasters are $100-$110 an hour

you better make sure the guy blasting knows what he's doing. Exterior panels are prone to warpage if they are blasted to long or with the wrong media. Most high end builders either chemically strip or mechanically strip the exterior and just blast the structural metal. That's what I'm doing.

Thanks for the advice. Well this shop does Lots of cars so i'm assuming/hoping they know what they're doing. I'm also taking the doors and fenders for them to blast.
