So
I would like to strip body of car down... Have taken a prior car to the shop, to use walnut shells Would like to do this on my own I DO NOT have a large compressor...most I have is the portable 110volt that I can carry around to do home construction repairs etc a)Will "that size(sorry, don't know how many gallons off hand, bigger than a breadbox, I'd guess 5 gallons?) do the job..I appreciate that the smaller the compressor, the longer the job takes b)where would I buy the soda attachments...and what kind Duh...pretty vague/uneducated/uninformed question... Thx Paul |

If you really want to blast your car, you will need to rent a portable compressor with some real power behind it. I’m not fluent in compressor specs but the rental people will know what you need. You also need a real blast setup and probably about 20-50lb bags of soda. Price it all out and you will se that’s it’s the same price of less to hire it out. There are mobile blasters that come to you. Plan on spending $1,200-1500 to get it done. DIY will probably be more.
Ben/MB911 did his whole car with a grinder and abrasive wheels. That’s probably the most economical DIY. |

Maybe try one of the dustless blasting "franchises" popping up. The process seems fast and economical. Here's a vid... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx4SQfhWink |

Here's a vid... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx4SQfhWink Serious compressor needed for that,the media is not very abrasive but the pressure delivered is the secret,get all setup and hire a compressor engine powered compressor unit and make it big off hand thinking 40-50 cfm. As an example my 12 cfm single phase(240 volt) is sadly lacking on sand or foundry slag/grit,works but takes for ever.... Good luck. |
