Have bought a Suzi 500GS which runs fine, solid engine and frame but engine and frame paint (black, gold, silver , red - grrr) has seen better days. Few areas of surface rust. Lots of grime. I am also half way through the clean up and sand of my fizzie engine and frame.
I'd like to sodablast the two of them as a clean + prep for respray. A PSI of 90, maybe 100 tops should be okay to take paint off however I am unsure what CFM I would need and whether this relates to the regulated PSI ? The CFM will dicate the nozzle size, I'm thinking 3-5mm nozzle size to get some accuracy and avoid overshoot.
Can anyone recommend suitable (not over the top) soda blasting equipment; ideally I'm looking for a single unit but a few pals reckon that I'd need a compressor + a portable sodablasting unit. not sure which units would work well - so many choices out there so ideally looking for recommendation based on actual working experience gained using a specific unit/combo
Please dont tell me I'm a nutcase or doing the wrong thing or an idiot - I'm over 50 and been riding stupid, cool and dangerous bikes for over 40 years (I started motocross at 10!) - I'm already and idiot! thank you
