Blasting auto sheet metal.

I ve hit rusty sheet metal with sand just kept the feed higher lower pressure and further distance. When a sufficiently hard abrasive particle strikes steel it deforms the surface into a valley and pushes up peaks. It is an excellent rust remover and is intended for more robust metals. There really isn t a way to get down to bare metal more efficiently than media blasting.

Blasting is fine on panels i was referring to parts where the sand can enter but a pain to remove such as unibody boxed parts such as a sub frame or underside of a hood etc. But if you plan your projects accordingly the money you lay out for equipment now will pay huge. Sandblasting uses a higher pressure of air to propel sand. Due to the high pressure and heat generated by the sandblasting procedure a car body s sheet metal and thinner metals can be warped beyond repair.

Every other method of stripping is an attempt to get around the major disadvantage of media blasting namely the investment in rather costly equipment.
