Default Re: Media Blasting 101

Now I'd like to show you have this media works on different automotive parts. As many of you know, I see a lot of parts on Ebay. Most times I simply want to clean the debris off so the customer can see what the actual part looks like, not the dirt and debris. I also don't want to cause harm to the part or remove any important ink stamps or markings. This is where plastic comes into play. Plastic media removes dirt and debris without altering the original finish when used at the proper pressures. It is very good at removing paint as well as long as the paint is not too thick. Plastic, like most medias does not play well with grease, silicone, etc.

I am going to show you the use of plastic media on 4 items as shown. A 1969 Camaro Z/28 intake manifold that has been painted, a 69 Camaro Hurst shifter, a 11 inch Chevy bellhousing that has been painted, and a very dirty Holley double pumper carb.



Here is a video showing the part before:
