Re: Sand Blasting

That's good info, thanks mate. I think it's a grit of some sort anyway, I was referring to "sand" as a generic term for blasting. I started with the paint stripper and it looks like these rims were painted a long time ago coz they are shmick underneath.. hehehhe   Not going to paint them again tho, the TRX rims look fine when they're bare.   ----- Original Message ----- From: rclough To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 7:11 PM Subject: Re: Sand Blasting Depends on the air pressure, blasting medium used, and length of time blasting occurs on each area.  Sand will erode the paint, then the alloy, so controlling the blasting time will achieve a reasonable finish if you can get it right over the whole job.  The sand blasted finish is actually good looking in my view, and it makes a good surface for another paint job. You can spin the wheel in a lathe, or on the hub, and machine/polish up the areas that can be repolished.   Lighter blasting media, such as plastic beads may achieve a better finish, quicker. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 4:09 PM Subject: Sand Blasting I have a set of TRX alloy rims that have been painted a couple of times, and I want to try sand blasting the paint off. Tried paint stripper but it's not getting them completely clean.   Does anyone know if sand blasting will damage them at all???   Thanks --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
