1970s Honda Before Restoration
CASE STUDY

Strip paint from a 1970's Honda.

The Project

Dustless Blasting removes both paint and rust in one step. 

This contractor stayed at 90 PSI when blasting, but adjusted his standoff distance to be more gentle on the hood, doors, and roof. These parts can be thinner and require a more delicate touch.

On the rest of the car, he blasted more thoroughly, to a near-white metal finish.

Adjusting Standoff Distance

This contractor stayed at 90 PSI when blasting, but adjusted his standoff distance to be more gentle on the hood, doors, and roof. These parts can be thinner and require a more delicate touch.

On the rest of the car, he blasted more thoroughly, to a near-white metal finish.

Keeping pressure up forces you back, and you get a bigger blast pattern and less heat in a larger area. That's the most important thing on blasting.
