Plastic Media Blasting
What is plastic media blasting –PMB ?
Plastic media blasting is a process used to for the rapid removal of coatings on materials. The method does not involve toxic chemical strippers, burn off systems, sandblasting, hand or mechanical abrasion methods. In the case of automobiles paint is removed. The process is similar to sand blasting and uses the same type of equipment but instead of sand plastic bits with the texture of large corn meal is used to chip away the paint. Since plastic is a non-toxic compound, the process is eco-friendly.
Plastic media blasting uses high volume air and low pressure to propel the plastic into the paint which results in the paint being chipped away. The process does not create the heat that is generated by normal sand blasting and is therefore safe to use on thin metal. Sand blasting thin metal could cause warping of metal if not done very very carefully. The metal surface when sand blasted is pitted and feels like sandpaper. When plastic media is used to remove the paint the metal surface under the paint is virtually unaffected by the plastic media process. However, rust is not removed by plastic. Loose rust is blown away but the basic rust problem is still there to be dealt with by other procedures.
PMB –plastic media blasting—is less aggressive than sand so it can be used on a wide variety of projects with less concern for damaging results. Fiberglass i.e. Corvettes and boats can have the paint removed. Since the surface (gel-coat) under the paint is relative soft compared to metal, after Paint removal the surface is more like the surface of an orange. Body filler can be removed or left in place depending on the thickness and/or customers' desires.

Does the mileage on a motor matter when racing.?
I love to race and work on my own vehicles. Question is does it matter if i get a vehicle with 150,000 miles on it. Im looking to get a C5 corvette but there are so many with lots of miles. Would i have to rebuilt the motor or would it still be good as long as the oil pressure is high.
Another Question. I want to get it STD. I know that i will more than likely have to replace the clutch but how good would the tranny be with so many miles. Im eventually going to put heads and cam later on down the road. Thanks for the help.
I used to have 01 Camaro SS that ran 12.6 with 110,000 miles and never had problems with motor. Oil pressure was pretty high. Its the same 5.7 motor as C5 vette.

I saw a car last night.?
At first I thought I was pulling up to the driver side of a new Corvette but when I was able to look, the logo was not the racing flags and it was too dark to make out the logo that was there. I caught up with it at the next light and he had switched lanes and now I was able to read KARMAN on the right rear side. The tail lights were LED and when he had the turn signal on it made a sort of almond shape with the red LED on top and the amber on the bottom any ideas what car this was?
