i have a bead blast cabinet and uses fine glass with about 25psi. it took the black paint out of the groove and all the clear off. then 400 wet to 800 to 1000 then polished it. looks great. the glass took off the clear in less than a minute.

It's not a 5-minute job.Wet-snding each piece takes an hour or more,then the polishing.
I have about 10hrs or so in a whole console,from start to finish.

i have 4 consoles that i am making 2 real nice ones out of and a 3rd one that will be a driver quality. i only sprayed the driver quality one first to get experience for the other two. it looks like one can will easily do 2 consoles, maybe more. if you were changing colors it may take a little more but i don't know. now i will have enough left over to do my seat backs and other interior stuff. i got 4 cans so i may do extra parts also.
