Re: Media Blasting for Hobbyist

BBPanel be very carefull on big flat areas like hood top doors if you use to much pressure and to coarse of abrasive you can cause a lot of damage (distortion)> always keep moving not staying in one spot to remove rust or whatever.

There is an almost zero percent chance of a personal sand blaster warping any panel on our trucks. Commercial sand blasting uses much higher cfm than most home shops have available. My guy has a 4cyl diesel compressor and a silo for sand. Even then, he's never warped any panel.
Maybe some home shops have the cfm available, but it would not be the norm
