Re: slammed 57
curious, what is the texture and depth of application for the Raptor? depends on how much you spray on or is there a recommendation for max depth? more easily scraped off with deeper applications?

Re: slammed 57
Well I had a Major detour this past 2 weeks , after I got the cab back from the media blaster , when I got home and prepping the cab for epoxy I noticed the roof got warped during the blasting. ( yeah I was pretty ticked off!) So I had to put a new skin on. since it was off I went ahead and epoxied the inner skin.

Re: slammed 57
Getting ready to send mine to blast also. I already have a big dent in the top and it’s tin canning. How had was it to replace?

Re: slammed 57
That sucks out the warping, but outstanding job on the repair...Plus the peace of mind on the rust coating is assuring.

Re: slammed 57
that media blaster must have been rough, you gotta try to warp the metal on our trucks
i had my whole truck sandblasted without any issues i think he stood way back and took his time removing 4 layers of paint

Re: slammed 57
Warped metal when blasting ?
Call dustless blasting for a tech near you . No more warped metal . They will even come to you , no mess beyond the project . My neighbor had them over to do his chassis in the driveway . They put down a tarp did the job and no mess . I even had the guy do a sway bar for me . Very quick , clean and I didn't have to go across town to some other blaster .

Re: slammed 57
The cab is getting the complete work over. Next week or two I will be spraying SPI epoxy to seal the body work in and then a few rounds with polyester along with MORE sanding. I took a break from sanding (my hands needed it) and worked on some dash trim (half round aluminum stock)and shaped the end to finalize it.

Re: slammed 57
Looks great. Firewall cutaway looks good too.
Is that green grass? It snowed here yesterday. 4deg Celsius. That's 4 deg above freezing. Jealous of the work and the weather. |

Re: slammed 57
LOL , I know you all haven't seen the green grass for a while now....but better weather is soon heading your way..... Its nice down here, but in about 2 months we will be in the mid to upper 90"S and dying from the heat... everybody has their fare share of some type of crappy weather I guess.
