for sure. Crushed walnut shells are the softest type of media to blast things with. I would call around to find a media blast shop adn ask them what they think.

BTW, Richard in Houston will be sloberin' all over himself if he hasn't found a rear spoiler yet. You might shoot him an e-mail if you aren't going to keep it for yourself. Just an idea.

Hey, I may be coming out to San Diego for business this week. Unfortunately no time for fun, so maybe next time we meet up and share some beers and lie about our women and cars.

went "junkyarding" today to find a set of sway bar mounts,..alas no luck.
but..........i did find an "alpina" style rear spoiler on a trashed 5er.....
25 bucks later its mine,..however the previous owner sprayed it in gloss black paint.
anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this without harming the spoiler itself..? (its the hard foam style)

thanks..!!!!! jim in sd

* waitin for that RD front spoiler now...!!!!
