Congratulations, you are the very first person to recognize that and make a comment on it. And that is with over 22,000 viewings. Thank you for your GM hot rod knowledge. It is a 1968 Firebird. Keep on Cruisin"
i talked to a guy that does professional restorations, he said he wnt let his guys blast it like that. he says do it in layers instead of focusing on one area to prevent denting. but they use sand blasting. and i know soda blasting is supposed to have a more uniformed texture so it wnt pit the metal.
What you were told was correct... for them. We do subcontract work for a number of professional restorers and no one has complained about "oil canning", which is what your are describing. We can adjust our blast line pressure on the H250 Series blast pots to as low as 25 PSI, they cannot. We use material which is only 2.5 Mohs hardness, they may not be. As to the layering, you cannot "layer" vinyl top glue, it has to come off in a straight across type of blast.
I don't thing he knows..It looks to me like he really does not know what he is doing.I have had this done twice by sodablast in St Pete and it did not take nearly as much effort or time..One other thing.I sure would not want my cars painted in that booth after that was done...
Might be taking him longer on roof because car may of had a vynil top? Maybe, I know I was thinking same thing why is it taking so long, glue like undercoating takes way longer.
There is one brand of soda blaster that uses 150 PSI to shoot soda to increase the stripping effect. If you shoot at high pressure you generate more pinpoint heat which contributes to "oil canning". We only shoot at as high a pressure as is needed to reduce heat build-up and conserve both fuel and blast media. Normally at 70 PSI and as low as 25 PSI. Going fast just to say you have gone fast only costs more money. This is a blast booth. We do not paint.
so, thats a firebird.

I think a heat gun would be faster and cheaper.
