I recently bought a media cabinet and I already had a 30 gallon compressor. I started a trial run with the cabinet on a pair of calipers. I got no where. The media barely put a dent in the caliper paint. I sprayed for 30 minutes and completed an area about 3"x3". The media was glass bead 70 grit and the compressor was set at 100 psi.
I believe my issue may be the amount of air the compressor moves, and not the PSI. What is the recommended amount that will work on brake calipers? My compressor is a 5.2 CFM. Is glass bead appropriate for enamel paint? What size compressor do I need? What is everyone else using? |

Are you sure you are using the right media? What is the pressure set at?
Mine is a HF 21gal that only kicks out about 4CFM and I can blast the shit out of stuff...in short bursts |
