I might be asking a simple question, but here's what I've got.
I'm doing a Spit6 and I've stripped the entire chassis clear of everything.
I want to remove all the paint and get it ready to powder coat.
I've got a couple of dilemmas that maybe you all can help me with:
- A portion of the chassis is difficult to access; I can see that
an "arm" of the chassis was welded over and covered a portion that I can not
strip without chemically dipping in a tank. It's all covered in oil/grease
inside. Should I worry about it? If so, how do I clean out the grease and
get the paint off.
- I'm planning on using a media blaster and I want to buy media
tomorrow but I'm not finding a good resource on how to choose the media,
what pressure to use, etc. My choices are really fine sand, Silica,
aluminum oxide, or "plastic". Any good links on "how-to's" for the media
blasting? Is there a different way of stripping the paint that I should
consider?
Thanks so much.
