Sand Blasting Exactions!?

Post by st3e »

Does anyone know if sandblasting exactions will damage them!?
If so what would be the best and easiest way to strip the paint off them!? Would Soda blasting be best!?
Thanks in advance!

Paint stripper will take a while as due to EU regs they had to get rid of some of the more active ingredients,you may have to put the Nitromors on and leave it for a good while to be effective and even then it will take a couple of applications.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Soda Blasting is non-destructive for the vast majority of applications.

But with the exactions, you may wish to have to faces polished or thrown into a lathe and turned to bring them back to mint. The soda blasting will not require much if any prep for paint, unlike sand blasting which leaves a rough surface
