Cooler no question that way works but it is not near as strong as if it was blasted and propperly prepped first, but on a dash, how much action will it really see ya know... never the less we still have to back our product so we do it right and blast it
Viper, to remove coatings you should chemical strip, as you learned here with blasting it is just too much on the metal to blast it all off and leaves you with waves, holes, or just really messed up metal... also the type of media you use is CLUTCH on what part you are blasting as well as the CFM going to the compressor... when you get your new dash let me know bud we can help you out
Well if i decide to coat this new one i will let u know. To be honest im scared to do it now because of how horrible the first one was. Also if i do ill let u know brand and color of powder for match.... That cool with you?

Maybe. Or maybe he just died of old age since it was 4 years ago.
