So
I would like to strip body of car down... Have taken a prior car to the shop, to use walnut shells Would like to do this on my own I DO NOT have a large compressor...most I have is the portable 110volt that I can carry around to do home construction repairs etc a)Will "that size(sorry, don't know how many gallons off hand, bigger than a breadbox, I'd guess 5 gallons?) do the job..I appreciate that the smaller the compressor, the longer the job takes b)where would I buy the soda attachments...and what kind Duh...pretty vague/uneducated/uninformed question... Thx Paul |

You will definitely need a bigger compressor. I got one on Craigslist. It's a 33 gallon and it's barely big enough for sand blasting. I didn't do a whole car, just parts. I would suggest you invest in a bigger compressor. You can use it for other air tools, like sanders, die grinders and paint sprayers.
It makes a huge mess by the way. I blasted into a box and put the media back in the hopper. You're doing a whole car, so maybe figure out a way to contain the soda. |
