Folks,
I have been laboring away on my Hawk. Got it on the rotisserie, scraped all the tar (anti-rust coating) off the bottom of the body, cleaned all the residue with brake clean and finally this weekend started sandblasting the remaining paint off with Baking Soda. I chose Baking soda because I had to do this in the driveway and was trying to be somewhat environmentally safe and wanted to be able to easily clean up the leftover mess with a broom and water. As I sandblasted the underside of the car I found that there was a good bit of surface rust under the paint. See the attached pictures. I hit it pretty hard with the Soda and Walnuts but could not get it off. What should I try next? Should I go with the Aluminum Oxide or try sanding or chemical?
Before blasting:
After Blasting:
Plan is to get it clean and then have my body guy come over and paint it before putting back on the frame while still on the rottisserie.
Thanks for the help in advance.
