Sodium bicarbonate blasting would be better to remove rust&paint from whole body, i dont know if this facility available in Pakistan or not. if u wana see how soda blasting works check the followin linkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FLyhAGJsIg
Or you can soak any rusty part into vinegar and salt solution for couple of days and pressure wash it to get the same result for next to nothing money wise. Oh and you can reuse the solution over for couple of times.
how about chemical dipping where they dip the whole chassis in some chemical, all rust and old paint comes off and you are left with clean metal to work on
@poster it can not equiped with 4K(it must have 3K in it) and Xulfiqar is 100% right. any how best wishes .
long time no updates???
it was covered in base coat with plastic cover for over 3 weeks on wednesday moved to paint shop. will update coming week,
@capsat i can see some serious work going on:)thumbs up.keep us updated:)
update - progress is slow but am in no hurry
at least your keeping all those guys busy doing something and earning money
man thats a difficult project.... all the best really
are you going to follow the classic toyota theme of primer in the engine bay and finished on the car?
be sure to remove the brake metal lines before the painter starts painting the engine bay.
Guru Thank you.
I have no idea what toyota theme is but if the correct term for clear lacquer is primer then yes that is the plan.
brake metal lines removed & cleaned with vinegar + salt solution
waiting anxiously for further updates
keep fingers crossed painter is doing 'CHAMPAK' paint jobs on damaged 2 JDM cars a day making more money then he will make from this car will update soon. One side ground is almost ready.
I'm going through this same ordeal. It's crazy dealing with this "denterkind". People who find good honest denters should be thankful, no very thankful to God.
