Sand and dirt everywhere,
In your ears, hair,
even in your shoes and pockets.

show all that hard work!

Your right I showered hard core last night and still have that sand coming out of my ears, hair and eyes (need better goggles). Your front end parts turned out awesome! What paint did you use?

Yes Franky it works but my compressor is not big enough to keep a steady flow of 100psi to it. It works good though if you can keep air and sand (glass beads) to the nozzle, its just very slow going. We have a blast cabinet at work that works great for parts that fit inside. Unfortunately this stuff is all too long. We have a screw compressor that never runs lower than 120psi.

If a guy had access to a commercial compressor and tons of media it would make quick work of it.
