This was going to be an idea for a drive through quick
respray, but that's hardly a halfbaked idea, so I bring you
the Drive-Through Sandblasting service. Here's how it
works:
Prior to entry, the windscreen and all of the glass and
otherwise vulnerable areas are quickly masked off, using
a
range of stencils that are pre-cut to fit all models of car.
You then drive your car through, and just as with the
action of an automated car wash, powerful jets of sand
strip it down to the bare metal all over. The bare matt
metal is then polished to a mirror finish by the rapidly
spinning robotic brushes which rove over every square
inch
of its surface.
On completion, your car emerges in gleaming raw metal,
like a jetstream caravan or a 1950's airforce jet.
To protect the finish, several surfaces are available by
way
of the application of a high gloss, or a matt protective
lacquer.
The more adventurous can bring their car pre-masked
off,
to enable complex patterns or imagery to be generated.

A chrome-like finish does add that gleaming military-
test chic to any vehicle. [+] |

Some of it will. The bumpers, mirrors, rear spoiler thing,
door handles, fuel filler door will all end up as black plastic,
some with a grey-ish tinge due to the glass fiber
reinforcement. Interestingly, the badges will start all shiney
and metallic and end up rather dull. Maybe a 2013 car isn't
the best candidate? |

Ah yes, but that's why the "otherwise vulnerable
areas are masked off". |

What if you drive a deLorean ? |
|
| |
You end up with a shiny version. |

Can you mount all your needed sand blasting projects on the outside of the vehicle? ........ How many times can a car go through? |
