It’s All About The Prep: Blasting A Porsche

Porsche 911 _1986-008
Here’s a job we are finishing up in the shop, blasting a Porsche, specifically this gorgeous 1986 Porsche 911 from a friend up the road.

We offer a pick-up and delivery service.

You can see the paint was in pretty good condition originally, but the owner wanted something different. We take blasting a Porsche seriously (like any of our automotive service jobs), so there’s a careful method.

There’s many key parts to our process — the angle of the blast, determining the right media for the job, removing parts that need to be blasted separately, getting the optimum pressure and more.

But as you can see, one of the most important parts of our jobs when blasting a Porsche or any vehicle is ensuring the prep is completed thoroughly.

We want to ensure the Porsche’s interior, its tires and engine are all protected from dust as much possible, with zero possibility of any damage from the blasting itself.

These cars are labor intensive, but it’s worth the wait. The guys have gotten down to gel coat on this beauty.

If you want to read an original review of the 1986 Porsche 911 Coupe, here’s one posted on Cars.com by Leonard Kucinski in Pennsylvania. Goes to show a classic car doesn’t really lose its value.

Oh and just for fun, the new car he would have reviewed would have looked something like this. We expect the restored version (after our blasting) will look something like this.
