My blaster guy has a booth big enough for a semi truck. When you say warped
panels ,is that due to, too much air, or heat,or both. He has a 3" hose to
do his blasting,so he uses some serious air. I will ask him about warpage.
Has anybody ever had thier truck zinc sprayed.I am leaning toward this cause
it won't ever rust again. Thanks for input.
