The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Sand blasted frame.

I have had questions about the use of sandblasting vs sanding. The data sheets from PPG only mention sanding not sand blasting. I suspect this is because sanding leaves scratches whereas sandblasting does not. Sandblasting leaves dents and pits. Here are a few pictures of sanding scratches (80 grit) and sandblasting. Also there is one showing both on the same part. I sandblast many parts before I sand especially areas where I cannot reach with sandpaper. I also find that sandblasted parts are easier to sand.
