Now you see it now you dont!! Cany believe how happy i am with the soda blasting - went to have a look today and was stoked at the fact that apart from my original repairs, there is no rust in this baby at all!!! just a few little dings.

Still a bit more to go but she is getting picked up at 9.00 Friday and being taken straight back to the paint shop for her new clothes - so fingers crossed, she'll be as green as in about 2 to 3 weeks - life is good!

Whats it cost?  And congrats on not finding a nightmare

[mezzmo]

Wasn't cheap, worked out to $2400.00 - but and this is the big bit - you have no idea what is under there and as it turned out, i had 9 layers of paint with the base coat starting to crack. I would have wasted a lot more time and money if i hadnt done it now - mind you if i did it first it would have only been about $1600.

Such is life!!

What do you mean if you did it first you would of saved $800?  One day this will be the way i'm looking unless I strike a deal with Ben

I might add Mezzmo,. I'm Jellous dirty rotten jellous

[mezzmo]

What i meant was he would have only charged me $1600.00 if i hadnt had it all sprayed in high build putty - that was the hard part to get off!

Jelousy is cool Doofhard - drives our passion and motivates!

Well $1600 to get it to bare metal like that seems good value

Looking good Mezzmo

That looks pretty good and fair price. I used paint stripper and sanded. It took two guys about five days to get it clean in most corners. The soda blasting does the tight spots much better.

Ive been quoted $1000 to sandblast, with the condition that obviously certain parts are thin metal. is that expensive? (this is complete, inside and out and under and over), i dont know if he will primer it too tho.
