Recently a car buff called one of our soda blast contractors to strip his 1957 Ford Fairlane and was surprised when he discovered physical damage, dents and body filler under a layer of thick paint. Clearly the number one benefit to sodablasting his car was learning –and being able to fix- the damage to the car. It had already received two paint jobs since the damage occurred.

You may think you don’t miss what you don’t have or that ignorance is bliss but when it comes to your car, but there is nothing blissful about putting your head in the sand and ignoring the right way to do the job.

Large amounts of body filler can crack over time; cars that are not restored properly can also lead to rust, moisture and dirt collecting in unwanted areas. New paint applies and looks better on brushed metal compared to old paint and body filler.

By the time our contractor finished the job in five hours, the car looked factory-new – hence the slogan: Your car’s second chance at its first paint job. The customer was happy too because he had already wasted 4 hours trying to sand the roof by hand and only managed to remove a portion of the paint.
