Sodablasting the nose of a 68 Corvette. We sodablasted this entire car down to bare fiberglass. Normally, we'd blast down to the gelcoat (to preserve the smooth finish), but this car (and maybe all early Vettes) had no gelcoat over the fiberglass surface. Instead, nearly the entire body had been "skinned" with a layer of body filler ("Bondo"). This layer of bondo roughly doubled the amount of time required to blast the entire car and increased media usage by roughly 45%. Once removed, the bare fiberglass surface was very "textured" and porous. A proper job of finishing this car would require coating the entire body with gelcoat after doing the initial bodywork and before priming for final preparation. Still, this entire car was blasted down in less than 7 hours - a significant improvement over sanding.
