I shared kodakgallery.com pix with the list for progress on the soda
blasting. It's an interesting process, but you need a big open field to do
it in. The medium is very mild, leaving behind the anodized finish of the
steel, but it's not able to get rid of rust that ever had any sort of
treatment in the past.
We ran out of daylight and I won't be having them come back to my home.
Instead, I've lined up two options to complete the stripping of the car and
getting it in primer. Please give me your opinions.
Option 1. Take it to a media blaster about an hour away for relatively low
cost. Pick it up the next day and have a local body man prime the car in
DP4 prior to any body work beginning.
Option 2. Take it to a more local powder coating facility to have the body
and all panels stripped with media, then a powder coat epoxy primer baked
on. Cost, taking the driving hassle into consideration, is about equal
between the two.
My body guy has great experience with the DP4 and says all the best resto
shop use it. I don't know anything about the epoxy powder coat primer, but
I'll be getting some more info from the powder coater. Any opinions and
experiences to share are welcome.
