Default outdrive paint.

Sandblasting is def. ideal. If you use the Zinc-Chromate base, take the proper precautions when it comes to using a breathing apparatus. The stuff is great for creating a protective barrier for your drives, but it will also melt your lungs down. Here is some pics of my last drive project.

The paint is Imron 5000s.

Also what does everyone use an orbital sander? Basically a step by step of what material to use to sand and paint with would be great.
yah its something to do with standard paper particals and the electrolocist or whatever its called but using standard paper will cause the drive to deteriorate faster. get more info before you do it. I do know that there is a system if your just gonna paint it black again, that has the primer(green) the black paint and the clear all in spray cans. It's suppose to be the direct replacement for factory paint. I believe it's made by quicksilver or something. I have used it before and it looks great when your done. But as I said get more info on the prep of the drive first. maybe catch up with glassdave on here he maybe able to chime in...good luck
