This was a unique project because the Ferrari body is composed of **fiberglass, aluminum, and carbon fiber.** These are all delicate materials that require some finesse to avoid damage.  The paint needed to be removed before fixing cracks in the carbon fiber and and dents on the aluminum. After blasting. The Ferrari F430 after repainting. Official Master Strippers carefully masked off delicate areas. Several different materials were exposed by blasting, including aluminum and fiberglass. ## The Challenge To prevent damage, Official Master Strippers **reduced the blast pressure** on their DB225 down to **70 PSI.** They blasted with a **generous standoff distance** of 18-20 inches when possible. They used 40/70 crushed glass abrasive, and were able to complete the job in 3 hours, with an additional hour spent on masking and setup. ## Job Details - **Equipment:** DB225 - **Nozzle:** SLV #5 - **Pressure:** 70 PSI - **Standoff Distance:** 18-20" - **Blasting Method:** Wet Blasting - **Abrasive:** 8 bags of 40/70 Crushed Glass - **Blast Time:** 3 hours ### Ready to start a business blasting cars?
