Thank you, I have to find something because my blaster is too big and blows everything into next week.

Try a piece you really don't care about with pea gravel that works pretty good sometimes too

Thanks, This stuff didn't work either. I have most of this stuff new, but I figured I'd clean it up just in case.

Did some blasting and coating this afternoon. Pedal assembly, some brackets, door handles and trim. Of course I couldn't resist stopping by the shop on the way home to see what it looked like.

just thought of another way to remove rust on small parts--antique guys use white Vinegar-Vinegar is really a very weak acid----soak it overnite fully submerged---depending on how bad the stuff is might take a time or 2 to do it---DOES NOT remove paint or other crud just rust then rinse with water and blow dry or put it in the oven or sunlight to heat it up and dry any moisture you might have missed in the blow drying

I feel the window trim will be the most difficult because it needs to slide together and the powder is pretty thick, I think we can make it work though. A few trim parts and the bumpers still need to be done.

Oh cool, I'll try it if I don't just buy a small blast cabinet and get it over with.
