Title: Re: FC Ute Body sandblasting Post by: craiga on July 02, 2007, 09:47:51 AM I've also used Redistrip - but only for a set of rims which came out well. Mark's an experienced car builder so you can trust his advice but personally I reckon the worry with chemical stripping in a bath is that it strips paint from areas that you can never put it back. Sand/Soda blasting probably does this as well, but not to the extent that a chemical bath would.
Sand blasting can distort panels, soda blasting is kinder but possibly still carries this risk, chemical baths strip EVERYTHING. Each choice has an upside and a downside. Cheers, Craig. |
