How to Sandblast a Rad Cover

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So this thing is nasty, we're going to clean it up and paint it. That's the cover for the top of the radiator, it covers up the radiator and the fan, protects you. So we do little jobs like this in a little blast cabinet. It's a foot controlled affair, it has it's own vacuum cleaner, so that you don't have a ton of dust and dirt inside there. Mark will clean this thing up and get it ready, and he'll just hit it with paint before he installs it. It's hard to see through the shield there, but you have got gloves that stick inside the machine so no dirt or dust gets outside of the machine. It goes pretty quick on a small piece like this. For whole cars, we have a room we drive into, but it's not worth firing all that machinery up just for this little piece. There we are painted, ready to go."
