With our body panels being made of aluminum(sp?) I doubt this would work.

only the hood is Al. the rest is steel.

^Are you sure? I could have sworn that the fenders & doors were also aluminum.

***fullerton*** · 04-25-2007, 05:33 AM

unless subaru invented magnetic aluminum, they are steel.

Has anyone tried any of these techniques on any car? What were the results?

probably should not have said air duster. those air dusters DO NOT contain co2. They contain a CFC free refigerant. The pressure of liquid co2 is around 800 psi. that little tin can can not hold 800 psi.

sounds like a good way to chip some paint

Hmmm...very interesting. I might try this on one of the towncars at my part time job.(work at a limousine company on teh weekends) Thankfully, no dents on my car.

Tried it on my G35, the dry ice method. didn't work. Would be willing to try the other method though. Doesn't hurt anything.

Also,
That is funny I noticed my STi paint chipping on my rear fender. Seems the paint just flakes away so i looked at it more closely and also thought it looked like they were made of aluminum.
