Popular Post eddeere Posted April 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2016 Decided to start body work on the cab. First I had to remove six coats of paint and six coats of primer. Used four stripping discs on the grinder and four bags of black blast. Spent most of the day but finally got down to bare metal. 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44858-six-coats-of-paint-primer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Cab looks really solid and pretty straight, unlike a lot in the North East.

Vladislav Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That's right way to do it. The cab looks solid. Hope you will save some labour on fixing it up after that lot of the cleaning work. Good luck on the continue.

MHfred Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Ed, it is looking good. What is the name of the blast media you used and how do you think it did?

eddeere Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I think it is called Black Blast. I got it at Menards about $8.00 a bag . I think Tractor Supply also has it. Seems to be more aggressive than sand and low in silica . If you look at the last pictures you can see where I blasted and where the stripping disc was used. Great for holding body filler but a little rough in other areas. I plan to run a D.A. over these areas before primer.
