Hello All,
Trying to get prepared to finish all of the reinforcement work on the body and decided that it would be a good idea to do a little sand blasting to clean things up a bit. I've seen units from $199 - $3000. And visually can't see any difference in them. I've seen blast media from sand to walnut shells to soda. Can somebody that has used these on a car tell me what is the best buy for a poor homeowner that wants to have a unit to use more than once but doesn't want to spend the motherlode. and the best overall media. Any help would be appreciated. Off to ball practicefor my kids. Be back to look at this in a bit. Thanks. |

I have tried lots of low end blasting and nothing seems to actually work well. The big problem (other than the ones already mentioned) is moisture. If you live in a humid environment and you do not have an air drier and a good compressed then you will only get frustraited. As much as I would like for it to be otherwise blasting is more complicated than it seems.
