Title: 86 swing arm resto
Post by: evaneyeball on April 23, 2020, 10:55:26 PM

My swingarm needed a powder coat job so I started it and I sandblasted for about 5 hours straight. Before and after blasting

Looks good. I’ve been thinking about getting a HF blasting cabinet myself. Do you have a professional set up?

HAHAHA When I was a kid, the exhaust paint that we used on our dirt bikes had to be "cured" in a oven at 200*F and moms oven got taken over for our curing. It always smelled "different"  I stopped by that house several years after it was sold and the new owner asked me in to see what he had done, A complete kitchen makeover with a new oven. He said that the oven always had a funny smell, I smiled but didn't tell him. He also said that the ghost (my grandpa) downstairs had left when my folks left. Not sure I believe that.
