I am repainting the copper radiator on my 1969. What is the best sand blasting medium to remove the old paint? I use aluminum oxide for most things. Will that cause any problems? Thanks.

Re: Radiator paint prep
Hi Bill...I haven't used it, but aluminum oxide is selected for its aggressive cutting action and long life; it might be a little aggressive for brass/copper. I would probably use fine glass beads, reduce the air pressure, and stand the nozzle off the work to avoid any damage until I understood how fast the media was going to cut.- Top

Re: Radiator paint prep
Hi Bill
Try going to a radiator shop and see if they will strip it for you.They did one for me awhile back. I think they use some kind of acid. I personally think your taking a chance of blowing holes in the radiator if you sandblast it. Just my suggestion.
Good luck....John- Top
