I like acid dipping . Who cares if it takes everything out of the seams. Shit sits inside a garage anyways .
No blasting anything. This is why I just sanded my car down to the factory primer and stopped. Then epoxy sealer and body work.
This guy makes me laugh my ass off sometimes I got to turn the video off cuz he stresses me out but over time I realize this is some kind of release for him God bless and keep up the good work your friend Jim
My first Q, why don't you do the soda blasting yourself? You have the space, it's probably a messy job but if you set up for it then you can't complain about others screwing it up. I don't like blasting, it's messy, media can get in your eyes and mouth if you aren't careful and totally suited up, the media goes everywhere, then I worry about cleaning it all up and what about the crevices that don't get painted, the possible rust and rot you can't see…plus the pitting, warping, thinner metal- also, how will one do a better paint job than what the factory did? I prefer to keep things as original as possible, plus less paint & solvents, less toxic chemicals to deal with, less money to spend, I like the idea of "patina" vehicles and if such vehicle gets a repaint, much of the original paint and primer will still be there if it isn't all blasted away. I want to ask you what you know about Penetrol, they claim it can be used as a metal primer, so I've been experimenting with that. The Penetrol seems to work great for bringing old "patina" paint back and it brings faded black rubber trim back but one has to make sure it gets wiped down so it doesn't "eat" the plastic and rubber. I also want to know more about soda blasting itself, you didn't explain about it in this vid but I can do my own research on that. But great vid, I appreciate your ranting and raving, lots of little truths to be had. I don't expect a reply as you have so many comments and you have other work to deal with but I'll keep watching your vids when I get moments of time. Thanx for all you do! You are doing the Lords' work, trying to keep the older, more practical vehicles than today's plastic disposable electronic nightmares, "iPhones on wheels" -on the road.
Agree on finding a professional blaster.I went to a biz for my hood and fenders.and guy I even know the guy that blasted it.he has done a lot the cars in the area.he used to paint in his younger yrs.
Pete you are one of the good ones. Thanks for all you have taught me. Hang in there.
Hey Pete,
I have been a follow of you for 5 years. I have learned alot from you and you gave the inspiration to do the bodywork on my 1970 Chevy pickup. However, I am a Dustless Blasting owner/operator. I mainly do automotive. I don't recommend Dustless Blasting for automotive due to the mess and potential for rust if you don't get all of the media out. I don't use sand. I typically use recycled glass or nickel slag. I did a 1962 Mercedes for a body shop. I typically blast my cars at 60psi to 80psi. I find that 70psi is perfect. I invite you to check out Rockymtnecoblast on Facebook and you will see that I don't trash cars. I am a classic car owner .
Pete tell mr. majestic to get a fuckin brain cause he's extra fuckin stupid ! I think soda blasting is the way to go !
Wow! That hood looks like some squid went at it with a needle gun!
