BigMatt Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 ok i tore down the bike and took the arms and the swing arm to work and put them in the blaster, did nothing for them. any idea on striping this stuff sand blasting should take that rate out, what kinda sand do you have in there? play sand worked best for me its pretty corse, but than again where I work we blast CAT machines so it was a little over kill for my A-arms.

james Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Posted March 7, 2010 I used a tumbling shot blast cabinet not very effective ( ls indusries model 11b) but i resorted to paint stripper and a wire wheel. i hope to have at the chrome shop monday Quote
