Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about sandblasing the paint off my car. It seems like a quick idea but I don't know if it's a good idea? Any suggestion on medium to use and procedures? I'll be doing each body piece one at a time.
Thanks,
Chris

I think baking soda is the safest media you can use but don't quote me.

correct, its the only blasting media that will work on glass (actually its SMC) without heating it up and tearing through it. it can get expensive to do, chances are you would be better off sanding it down with a DA sander especially if your doing it yourself. check out http://www.eastwoodco.com/ itll give you a run down on soda blasting and how much the media is gonna run you

yea exactly are u wanting to strip it down?? if you just going to paint it over the factory paint it is actually better for your car to just paint over it

basically i just did my whole car. i took sand to do all the metal parts. then soda blasted everything fibgerglass.

More detail on technique, equipment, etc. please? Just for the fiber glass portion if you don't mind. Have a new sodium/media blaster and used it on an old corvette for a little but seemed like I may have been pitting or dimpling the glass and maybe taking off the gel coat..
