Inliners International Forums General Discussion Body & Paint sandblast, soda blast, ?

Don't forget to read the tech sheets before applying your epoxy. PPG, DuPont and SPI warn about soda blasting. It's a no,no.Period. Epoxy over bare metal sanded w/ 80 to 120 grit. sandblasted surfaces gone over with red scotchbrite to remove any imbedded grit. A very popular media is Starblast. It is only available in the US and it is I believe either a 3M or Dupont product. If you do decide to do some of your own sandblasting make sure its not silca sand. It will kill you. Read your tech sheets guys. If you have a question call their tech line that is what it is there for. Your paint job is only as good as your prep and what you put under it. This is the part of your restoration you don't try to pinch a few penny's.
