Blasting small parts
 

What do the professional's use after blasting parts in a blast cabinet to get them ready for paint? Blow them off with air and what???


I have some parts I'm blasting and want to get them ready for paint.:chevy:

wipe them down with either acetone or lacquer thinner, let them dry then paint em. Just get something on soon or they will rust.

Thanks. I will blow them down and wipe with thinner.:chevy:

Just a Suggestion.
Make sure the person that touches them
when the parts are removed from the blast cabinet
does not have Greasy hands that will leave
finger prints on the parts after they are painted.
;) I know this does not turn out good.:lol:

I keep heavy duty nitrile gloves around for handling freshly prepped parts.

I just blow my parts off and wipe down with wax and degreaser or mineral spirits...let dry good and prime

Re: Blasting small parts
 

What media did you use for blasting?

Re: Blasting small parts
 

Lacquer thinner is not a good idea it has contaminants in it use a degreaser

I blasted them with Harbor Freight's media blast for metal.;)

I didn't touch them and I wiped down good with mineral spirits and primer them today.:chevy:
