Attention Timothy Beloney:
I would second the motion regarding what Jan has stated about bead blasting
your car. I restored a Tiger Mk1 several years back and my bodyman talked
me into having it blasted (can't remember how much it was). BIG MISTAKE!!!
Whereas you do get a nice, workable finish using "alox" (aluminum oxide)
pellets, you will NEVER get rid of the damn things! I feel so bad for the
friend of mine who bought that car from me (luckily, he is still my
friend). Neither one of us ever gave this one thought. Now, every time he
drives the car, that crap blows all over the place. He has spent countless
hours vacuuming every nook and cranny and still cusses the stuff.
Follow Jan's advice...have it dipped. Take it from me; I will never again
have an entire car blasted.
