after getting a quote to soda blast a set of 12 inch rims back at 40-50 per rim.. i'm thinking i'd like to give it a go myself... does anyone know where to buy bulk soda? for blasting as well as cleaning? SWMBO is the queen of soda and vinegar... or would this be suitable for a set of alloy rims? http://www.paramountbrowns.com.au/garnet-grit/ oh yeah interested in sacks of soda in adelaide... |

I've done up a few sets of Contessa wheels, I just paint stripped them to get all the paint off.. easy peasy. If you use garnet, any shiny bits will be frazzled to flat. And I reckon sand will just destroy them. |

aaah paint stripper, you think i would've thought of that! when i was 15 i paint stripped all the removable panels on my morris minor.. had an old bathtub in the backyard and by the end of it i think dad had bought enough tins of stripper that it was almost a dipping bath for car panels! i remember the stuff stinking and stinging seriously. gotta love the oh&s of my folks letting a 15 y.o playing in the backyard practically in a bathtub full of paint stripper! any recommendations on brands, places to buy of stripper? |

I used Selleys on my wheels last time, but the stuff Bunnings sells in the yellow can (digger?) seems to rip paint off pretty well too. |

Thumbs up for diggers from bunnings. Just did my whole shell in it. Heaps better than the polyfilla brand. |
