Yeah, this is definitely the hardest blasting job I have done yet. BMW sure coated these things good! I had to make quite the contraption to get under the car since it was not mounted on a rotisserie.

i worked 72 hours last week. I probably wont work on the car much until it gets cold out. I don’t intend to spend my summer working on a car when i have 3 other cars, a bike and a jetski. Though i intend to have the bodywork done by september first.
The cage took 4 weeks instead of the one week i was promised.
The blasting took almost 2 months, instead of the one week estimate.
By then it was the middle of summer. I’m busy at work, and my free time i d have, i don’t want to spend in the shop. But i have hardly lost interest, i think about the car like every day.

Jackoffs.
16 hours days FTW.
fuck that. newman is a bitch for not doing things so other people can read about them. its way easier and cooler to say “i know a guy that did…” rather than doing something yourself

why did it take so long getting soda blasted? then wasn’t completed being soda blasted?

I can answer that for you. I tried soda, then sand on the bottom they didn’t do much with this stuff at all. I then tried to use some solvents but they would not help much either. I guess we are not quite set up for removing this stuff. I have stripped many, many cars inside and out without any problems. I could do it but at this rate it would take like 8 hours. I already have over 4 hours into it. If anyone has any suggestions please share…
This stuff has been nothing but a headache.
