Soda Blasting

[alphaone]

Has anyone had the bodyshell soda blasted? If so was you happy with the results? Who did it and how much does it cost?

I would seriously advise you not to soda blast your body it takes all gel off what was brushed on and can go from nearly 10mm in places down to 2 or 3 so you end up with a bad surface its to abrasive

Hey Dunc.. just as well I did`nt blast your Vixen as a surprise then

I guess, like most things in life it`s down to who`s doing the job,I dropped this Grantura down to Midland Precision Blasting the following day after collecting it and am very pleased with the results and wouldn't`t hesitate to do the same again.On the other hand if you`re using a guy who uses an old 40 ft container as a booth,as Duncan says, be prepared for problems.

I had a hands on with their equipment.. something else, it`s possible with soda and the correct technique to remove a single layer of paint at a time,very precise and gentle.

As for price, well it`s job dependant, gauge around £600-750 but best give them a call.
