Post by JBug »

Hi again,

My web time is very limited so forgive me if this has been posted before and if theres info here already.
I just need to know where I can have my bug blasted completely.Im in KZN.
OR is there another way of getting the paint completely off,down to the metal?

Tnx in advance.
JB

If you can find a big galvanising shop they might be able to help you. They also have acid baths that you might be able to dip your car into, only problem there is that it removes all the primer, especially the bits in the hard to reach places that no spray painter will get to. I was once told that the bug was dipped into a bit vat of primer paint to protect all the metal while in the factory....
