I found 2 places out here near L.A.
www.surfaceprepsolutions.com is one of them.

Also ask them for their blasting guidelines.pdf info. There's alot of great info in it about CFM, PSI particle mph charts to achieve the best results.

There's gotta be someone out East that sells it too. It's popular with shipyards according to the documentations so I would try calling some places there for a leads. Try sand blaster places too and see if they're familiar with it.

If you can't find it, then try Aluminum oxide. I've used it and it comes out very good with no dust that could piss your neighbors off. Plus save your Lungs from alot of pain later.

I tried blasting with sand once and never again. I was hurting in my chest for 2 days later.

If you have the opportunity, I would like to see a pic of what the actual media of this coal slage looks like. Ive heard you talk about it before and have been interested.

I was going to post that paint stripper works well (which it does), but after seeing the pics of the car done w/ gas and steam, think that's the way I'd go.

This is my gold car after steam cleaning before blasting. It doesn't matter what kind of media I use when it's this clean before blasting. It only takes less than 10 mins and maybe a bag or two of coal slage to blast the whole bottem of this car, no exageration. Look at my picture above, do you see much media on the ground?


This car had no rust what so ever.
