That black media he used was likely ground up lava. I have used that =

Subject: Re: [TR] sandblasting

My nephew started his own company of mobile power cleaning. He bought =
this serious diesel powered professional duel axle trailer rig in Texas, =
and he could power clean with all kinds of media depending on the =
application, and he also had hot water blasting. He did all kinds of =
jobs, from vintage cars, boats for the Coast Guard, to BART stations in =
San Francisco for both graffiti to human waste. And if that wasn't =
gross enough, he said one of the worst was a Chinese restaurant that got =
sited and fined every day for grease oozing out of the cinder black and =
concrete enclosure for their dumpster. One of his easiest jobs was my =
8' long utility trailer.
=20
In all those situations, a mobile service like his, they will capture =
and clean up the media and waste, big vacuum system. For that Chinese =
restaurant he put out dams to channel the water and goo and were =
vacuuming up all that grease and hot water, very gross. =20
=20
At my house he used an inert material, but it was not sand. It was some =
sort of black material that looked like shards of coal. I've texted him =
to find out what it was.
=20
As was mentioned, for the cars he blasted, he had a couple of "learning" =
cars that were not vintage. The trick was to learn not to let the hood, =
or any long body panel, get hot and warp. So check for references to =
make sure who you hire has that experience. After he learned he did =
several cars including BMWs and vintage 911s and 356 Porsches.
=20
When he did this work, he had a full helmet respirator setup, coveralls, =
gloves and boots. No media got where he didn't want it, but he was a =
hot sweaty mess when he took that helmet off.
=20
I live in a cul-de-sac and he did the blasting down there, and there was =
just a little bit of media that was under the trailer that didn't get =
cleaned up, so again, a mobile service has a process to not leave all =
that behind.
=20
He also had a "rust inhibitor" he sprayed on the bare metal so it didn't =
get a quick flash rust overnight. Google that for details. I was able =
to paint over that no problem. I bought a gallon of black Rust-Oleum =
paint and repainted it myself and it's like a new trailer.
=20
Good luck,

Back in '08-'09, I had my TR3 body tub and frame blasted at a local =
powder coating company. $300 each. They blasted every square inch with =
crushed garnet. The tub was stripped of every bolt-on part. In two =
different visits, I set up both items on my makeshift engine stand =
rotisserie, with custom attachments, to make it a lot easier for them =
and the best outcome. Worth every penny and more.
Skip this part if you can and have a company do this work. You might =
even consider a mobile unit come to you. Different media can be used =
depending on paint or rust. Special care has to be taken on body parts, =
not to warp them, but if the person has a little finesse, any harm can =
be avoided.
The important part of good blasting is high CFM from the compressor. If =
you don't have enough CFM, you'll be working way too hard for way too =
long.=20
