[Classic Mustang] Re: Media Blasting

Sand blasting can absolutely warp metal...especially if the pressure
is too high. Also, the finer the blasting medium (sand, beads etc.)
the easier it is to remove surface rust, it will reach to the bottom
of the rust pits when coarser has to blast away some metal to get to
the bottom of the pit.

Good luck with the project,
John

will turn to more cleaning and refinishing. In the past I have used
sand blasting as a way to remove rust. I need to repaint a removable
cowl panel from my 69, and have been told that sand will generate too
much heat and possibly warp the grill area. Soda or poly have been
suggested as alternatives. Does anyone have thoughts on this and
specific equipment on the market? Thanks, Phil
