RE: [Chevelle-List] Sandblasting

[John Nasta]

Sand is not great for sheet metal because it is too abrasive. Dry ice blasting is best for removing paint & rust from sheet metal w/o eroding the surface. Dry ice also does not leave any residue behind like sand does. Sand is fine for cast iron and steel (heavier) parts. I did my OEM steel wheels w/ sand and then used an etching primer & paint.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John C.
