Re: Media Blasting for Hobbyist

i have a 5hp 10.2cfm compressor that i bought when i started 58truk. first pic is my blasting booth, it changed locations occasionally. inside or outside depending on the weather. i believe i was disassembling the bed out there. i bought the eastwood blast-in-a-bucket for $29. this is what 5 minutes of blasting did, that little L on the rear fender, paint only didn't even get thru the primer
we do have a pressure pot at the shop and yes it would have done better, but i sort of figured my time was worth more than sand blasting my life away
