Re: I've searched rust to death, need experienced opinion
I've always used fine sand when blasting. It leaves the surface smoother. I've had some inner fenders and a core support blasted with black beauty or more coarse sand and the surface was rough and needed to be primed and sanded to get it smooth again and to look better. I don't know about the numbers, I would guess the higher numbers are finer, just like sandpaper. The lumber yard where I used to get mine had coarse, medium and fine.
