    Hello all, Looking for some opinions on these two types of paint/rust removal. Ive always been told that media blasting (like using walnut shells in place of sand) is better for vehicle bodies and such as to not warp the panels but havent heard many horror stories of using regular sandblasting techniques. On car chassis i usually sandblast them as their heavy metal but havent really tried media yet.

    Has anybody used the plastic media for blasting. I will be getting my GTO painted in the next couple of years and would want it media blasted first.

    Are you going to stick with the black or opt for the original white?

    I like black better than the white. The red interior really sets it off.

    Yeah it does, its a sharp contrast that really accents the car and sets it apart
