What did you use to blast it with?  What size compressor do you have and what blasting kit and grit?

 

I have some panels to blast and your results look really good.

I have a compressor I bought 35 years ago from a local compressor specialist who built them to order 3hp 14cfm Ingersoll rand pump crompton motor 100 litre tank.I use aluminium oxide grit in a 30 year old Ace pressure pot with a 3mm tungsten nozzle.Grit blasting is very(VERY) messy but effective.I would not consider doing a car at home.Hope this is of some use.Steve..

Hi, excellent job you are doing there. Whereabouts are you in Crowle (I assume it's worcester?) Our in laws all live in Crowle, the Kains and Woods, One lot on Geneva Cresent, another on Pear Tree Way and the final lot on Bramley Close. We get down there quite often for a beer in Chequers and a walk. Next time we are down I'll look you up if you don't mind?
