STEELCASE DESK - SANDBLAST AND CLEARCOAT?
 
Hello,

Thanks for checking out this post. I'm looking for a guide to
stripping down a heavy old steelcase desk and then replacing the top
and then having it clearcoated.

I've seen the process done all over the place so it shouldnt be that
tough. I want to avoid grinding and using chemical strippers.

It would refinish just like a car.

Choices:
Best? Commercial sand blast / prime / powder paint

Better? Commercial sand blast / automotive paint shop prime and paint

Might be good? Light sanding, feather out any scratches, bondo any
dents, spray can or spray gun prime, glazing putty, sanding, top coat
with spray cans or gun. This method will be subject to the operator.

Often, the problem will be found between the switch and the floor!!!

Be careful if sandblasting. It can easily pean the metal causing it
to warp.
