Fuji Shooter Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is it possible to have my panels shot blasted. Iv been told yes and then no as there to thin? My lad had his beetle done with dry ice, it left not a trace on the metal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 What's media blasting. And do we have any idea of costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Media... Examples would be sand, grit, walnut shell, bi carb, glass bead and so on, some are more abrasive than others. Shot blasting is more for heavy stuff with thick corrosion Costs not a clue! Depends on what you want to do and if it can fit in a booth Ps if you're just removing paint then go for one of the least abrasive option!

viking Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 yes its just for removing paint off my land rover panels, i will check with the bloke who blasted my bulkhead see what he thinks and uses, he charged £50 for my bulkhead so for my 2 roofs,bonnet,back door, front door bottom,seat box rear tub and 2 rear sides,will probably be £400-£500, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with second hand hoops they all look bent to ****. Is it a full tilt and canvas you are after? Probably better off biting the bullet and buying a set from Exmoor Trim.

Fuji Shooter Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Exmoor had some seconds on eBay I saw the other day for £195. I thought about getting one and then decided truck cab and tonneau was the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
