I used Eastwood's blast-in-a-bucket to blast my frame, springs, wheels and misc brackets. I did it on a tarp, under a carport. Sand rarely went over 30ft... Trust me, it'll go places you'd never think of. 99% of the sand won't make it ten feet, but protect your work space. I used Mason's sand from home depot, I made a recycler that had a shop vac and a mailing tube that removed most of the dust. I also sieved the sand through window screen into 5 gal buckets. Always wear a respirator when working with sand.
