Om bij restauratie een kwalitatief duurzaam laksysteem op te kunnen bouwen is het essentieel om te beginnen met schoon blank staal. Dit om mogelijk onderliggende roest een halt toe te roepen en 'werking' tussen verschillende laklagen en materiaalsoorten te voorkomen. In onze stralerij werden oude laklagen, plamuurresten en roest grondig verwijderd. Zoals verwacht kwam er qua roestschade niet veel spannends tevoorschijn. De MG krijgt nieuwe dorpels en reparatiedelen op de onderste schermranden, maar was verder nog nagenoeg geheel hard.
[:en]When autumn came, it was time to strip the car completely. The naked body was mounted onto a rotisserie before being brought back to us. We were on a mission to get the car completely rust free. Starting by chemically and mechanically stripping paint off vulnerable areas, the car was then degreased and steam cleaned. Ready for the next step: shot blasting.Op zoek naar een interessant project om zelf te restaureren? Bekijk het actuele aanbod van te restaureren oldtimers.
[:en]When restoring a car, it is essential to apply a durable paint system. Multiple layers of old paint will often hide rust problems or bad repairs underneath. Due to different chemical substances and levels of flexibility, these old coats often do not interact well with a new paint system. Common medium to long term problems include blistering and cracks, while chemical interaction can lead to lifting or wrinkling during the application process. Starting with clean metal and being precise and thorough in your approach will help the DIY restorer achieve a professional, high-quality result. Dandy Classics can help you start off with a clean canvas for your DIY restoration. We have our own media blasting facility and paint booth.
