Ned Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 me and my dad are working on our cars. we have stripped out his, the 57 ford Anglia and mine is going for the same treatment later this arve. Instead of actually sanding it down we wanna get it sand blasted instead. well at least the inside, just to get into the hard to reach places etc. is this a good plan? and where do i go in auckland? price is important but workmanship has to be decent!

SYKOV6 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 NO DONT sand blast if you ever want your car back sand blasting is too harsh for panel steel and will warp the panels there are other mediums like glass or plastic beads. ring around some of the resto places in the ph book and see who or what they use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 hey lowlancer, got any more info on bead blasting? thanks for the heads up sykoV6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WESTCORT Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 yeah and your car will be filled with sand forever you will never be able to get rid of it all, just when you thought u had you will get more sand in your eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Yeah mang, my mate got his XL falcon wagon beadblasted, pretty sure it's with beads of glass. Best google and see, but I'm going to his place soon, so shall get details mang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 mang What are you? 50 Cent?? My mate got his Mini dipstripped for around $800. That is a mini though. And everything has to be gone. Afterwards it is dipped in a rust inhibitor so you have to wash it down before you paint. Probably just go with the blasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 my dads anglia is getting sand blasted next week and mine the week after. he wont do the roof, boot or bonnet as it might warp. he's charging us 700 each and that includes a coat of primer but the stuff he's using is "crap" so ill supply some for him. he specialises in cars and he hasnt had a problem so far so thats sweet. ill try and get some sort of warranty on paper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
