Bead, sand, and even media blasting (walnut shells, stuff like that) has the power to blow a hole right thru your frame, so watch out.

Hey, you should be more concerned about what it could do than what it would look like, would you rather have a hole in your frame, or take the time to use paint stripper?

Well you'd better make sure, because you can adjust the power...read this thread: http://bustedspoke.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=45988&p=411619&hilit=bead+blasting#p411619

His school is not going to have diamond dust... its not even used as a paint remover. Its used on saw blades and as a polisher.

as long as your paint/powdercoat isnt to thick its should work fine and the other dudes idea about sprayin stripper on it will cut down on the time with the bead blaster
