Sandblast Car
-
Can I use Plastic media to strip paint off a classic car?
-
Yes.
-
I was wondering if anyone ever had there car stripped with PMB (plastic Media) and did this process work efficiently. I currently sandblast sheet metal (without warping I'll add) but was considering purchasing a whole other unit to expand my business. Thanks

Sandblasting can cause hydrogen impounding (embrittlement) of metal as well as warping if high pressure is used against thin metal (like GM hoods!). Mediia blasting has been used on cars or panels off cars probably tens of thousands of times and can not warp or embrittle.

Have sandblasted auto sheemetal for years, BUT, you must use the finest sand available.
-
I've used "play"sand for years but I always sift it to take out the bigger sized particles first. Like any method, you need to learn the proper tecnique for proper application.

Soda blasting is great way to clear body and frame without stressing sheet metal. Clean up with a hose and you can leave glass in if desired. Some parts of USA the soda blasting company will come to your location. Cost is equal or less than sand blasting. Check the yellow pages.Oldfarmer1947@gmail.com

Actually soda blasting completed by a professional operator will remove surface rust, expose previous body work. The cleanup for soda is a blow off and water rinse. Without wash down the completed work can be left several days without priming. In any case interaction with base paint prep and resurfacing materials will not result in negative finish results.Oldfarmer1947@gmail.com

I recently blasted my 37 with an eastwood media blaster and Glassbead. no warpage and it removed all rust. Do not use sand because it will cause silicosis which can lead to that thing known as death.
-
I hired a soda blaster to come to the shop. It did not remove any of the rust, except the very loose parts. It still left the pits with rust in them. DuPont shop I buy my paint from gave me grave warnings about cleaning the metal before applying paint.
It did however work well on paint removal on wood.
