ok...
you have a RARE car that means ALOT,or i would not of bothered to preach any of this dribble if not for your last post.
i've learned alot about blasting from seeing other
peoples work first hand and also seeing other peoples very bad mistakes.
it is alot easier then some here think to screw something up.
i think you should at least know some basic fact to know
about blasting that nobody here even mentions to you before jumping in...
one thing i do know is when you blast metal is
you are changing the surface definition of the metal and
also you are taking away the finer details and wrinkles.
the amount of that change will depend alot on media selection and blast method.
when you blast something,
you are streching/fatiguing the surface of the metal, even if you can't see it when your done!
no matter what media you choose to use...
you might not warp the panel,but you have changed the surface,streched/fatigued/ effected the metal in some way!
it is one of the main reasons why i choose not to blast much on the outside flat panels.only in areas where its needed.
i do not want to lose any of the finer details
or definition in the area where everyone's eyes are upon it.
also that isn't a area where most of the rust is anyway,
so why strech out/fatigue the metal in a area when you don't need to??????
just because it takes the paint off easy
is the wrong reason...........
imo
i feel that you should really only blast where you really have to, the inside and underside and leave the outside
for the chemicals.
consider my method
,it is fool proof and
you take no risk of irreversable damage happening.
you have a RARE car,
why take the chance?
this is just my anal andyness opinion coming out
and how i see it
and some food for thought for you.
i really don't care what you do,
but you can't say there isn't a method to my madness
