Do folks tend to bead blast the carbs, too? I tried it on one carb tonight, and its clean, but again, pretty dull. No shine.
I'm gonna have to try to find some fine beads to check out.

Are you using sharp or round beads?. ............lm

lm,
Not sure -- it's just the medium glass blasting media from Fleet Farm. I'll check the container tonight when I get home from work. So, there are glass beads and glass chunks, eh? Always something... Thanks, rookie, I'll give that a look. Scottie '65 CL77 (in pieces right now...)

I'll second Rookies suggestion and give a link:

Gents,
The bead media I'm using is medium glass bead type, and I bought it at Fleet Farm. It does not specify sharp or round. I looked at the 4shorts posts, and I have to agree that he sure is one resourceful guy! Nice work! My only issue is that some stuff looks a little over polished for me, just a humble opinion... I love his paint work. I'd like to be able to work up to that level in my small shop. Scottie '65 CL77 (in pieces right now...)

Sharp will stick to your hands where round will slide. Round feels slick and will give a polished look where sharp gives a frosty look. .............lm
