ClayAiken Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey i have a tiny ass 7 1/2 foot plow for my truck. It's rusted and im looking to clean it up and paint it before the season starts. I don't have access to a sandblaster or anything like that. Just me and my angle grinder but yeah would i be better off wirewheeling it or do you think i should use sanding discs and if so what grit? I've never done a plow before just wondering what works best coming from someone who has done it before. Heres a picture of the current condition of the plow. Im going to be doing the front, back and headgear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man-O-Steele Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 why paint it? just get some 80 grit flapper disks for a grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 aren't you like 15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Scotch brite wheels for a grinder will pull the paint off fast. Flap disks will take metal off, not much but it still will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man-O-Steele Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Scotch brite pads wear out faster. The start to almost polish shit in a way but those would work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 It's a snowplow, who gives a sit.X2, who the fuck cares what it looks like. And if you are concerned, spray it the way it is. It won't last long anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
