I did a soda blast it a lot more finer than sandblasting also more expensive and time consuming it took all day basically from 7 till 5.30 pm and cost me 500 euros +100 euros to spray an undercoat the next day . The problem whith sandblasting is its to strong for th cappuccino it will ripe holes even in some good bits of clean metal if you are not carefull and it chaeper and faster and the only way to go iff you trully want to restor a cappuccino ater the work is done it will be brand new  The reason i did this is because im not planing on selling after its finished and also hear in malta it is a bigg no no to do self repair jobs when i aseked a previous pannel beater to fix my car he gave me two options crush it or pay me over 3000 euros to fully restor the car because people dont like to cut out a piece of rust and weld a new plate instead as the pictures you see on a previous job on my car . |
