I came across a blaster that I can buy for damn near free--

the plan: striping the car down to the tub,then blast to bare metal to do some cancer surgery ,then a complete repaint with house of kolor paints--

the question :

am I better off sending the rolling tub to a blaster

or

picking up the blaster I found .. putting the tub on the rotissaire and the hanging heavy plastic sheeting in my 3rd car garage to make a kinda booth and blasting it my self that way?
