If you're going to sand the engine compartment down to paint, instead of sandblasting....do yourself a favor before you start. Look for and at every spot weld in there, and see if there are any slag spurs sticking up. If so, take a die grinder or Dremel to them and smooth them out. You won't be able to use a sanding block on all of it, and when you sand it by hand...the slag spurs on the welds will tear thru the sandpaper and drag a hunk out of your fingers! Don't ask me how I know....lol. :BangHead: :realcrazy: :mad:
Thanks for the tip. I'll probably sand it down to keep the mess minimized in the shop. Never used a sandblaster outside the cabinet, but I imagine it would be pretty dusty?
