Are you trying to tell me it don't rain up there? Prime it quick. I like the rig too. Is it good for ribs?

Does that mean sand blasted? Did you do that yourself? What type of equipment did you use?

yea its a home made rotisserie. I havent primed it yet that is bare metal. I used a harbor freight sand blaster with my 60 galon air compressor. which by the way I think I killed. I am going to start looking for a new one that is much bigger.

this is after I took the plastic down. It didn't help. I got sand everywhere. I am paying someone next time. It took me eight hourslast night to clean my garage and get the sand out of my car.

I know what you mean Tony.I researched ahead of time and decided to have a pro sand blast mine. Cheaper and a whole lot cleaner.

Default RE: finally blasted

I just had my car sandblasted last week, came out good (except the flaws behind the paint and bondo [:@]), but I had a pro do mine as well. I sandblasted the engine bay myself last summer using the same harbor freight sandblaster you did. I put plastic up on the sides, underneath, behind, didn't help too much. Except luckily mine was in the driveway under a cannopy so cleanup was easier.

looks good, get some primer on her!

How should I go about finding a place to sandblast my car? Ballpark figure on how much that would cost?
