-Media blasting is a method of stripping paint, rust, and body fillers by using abrasive blasting equipment. With this method, media (sand, poly abrasive, walnut shells, baking soda, slag, etc) is shot at the vehicle and it abrades the surface to remove the coatings. Different types of media are available for stripping coatings and rust. Depending on the media being used, care must be taken to avoid warping large flat panels. Also, abrasive can get into cracks and crevices. If this is not thoroughly cleaned, it could blow out and end up in the paint when spraying the vehicle. Media blasting can be used to quickly strip large areas of paint and rust. |
