Who does sand blasting, what is the benefit, and what does it cost?

it is just a good way to strip all the old paint off to start with a good clean surface to paint or powdercoat.keep in mind i only have a small blast cabinet but can arrange to have larger pieces blasted as well.cost depends on what you are doing

i can do the powdercoating for you,you can reach me at the number above or PM me.the benefit would be that it is a very durable finish that looks pretty good.cost again depends on what you are doing

Who is your daddy and what does he do ?

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Russ what about bead blasting. I gather its less abbrassive than sand. Are there items when bead is better than sand or vis versa ?

Thanks Todd

i'm no pro, but when i took my 56 shell to airstrip to get blasted they used walnut shells to remove the paint, bondo and most of the surface rust and then used beads to give it a once over. apparently the beads provide the metal with a \"tooth\" of sorts so primer can take to it better.

i imagine with thinner metal you'd want to use walnut shells, glass beads, or some other type of media that wouldnt be too abrasive. and with thicker stuff you could get away with using sand.

for the record i don't use sand.in all honesty as long as you are not blasting body panels pretty much any abbrasive will work as long as it removes the rust.
pretty much what Silas said.

Beware of using glass beads on thin metal. Imagine millions of tiny ball peen hammers hitting a flat sheet, suddenly it's not flat anymore. Media with sharp corners shot from an angle is ok but almost anything aimed 90 degrees to the panel can make a big mess.
