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 |

Thanks for the replies
Understood...better to hire The underlying problem is "trust" re the person being hired. Some years ago I took a teener with almost no rust to be media blasted....to a company that is in the specific business of blasting cars It came back with grossly warped front and rear deck lids, and warped doors. Fortunately, I happened to have a parts car that had almost perfect replacements, but I hated swapping out the original pieces. I gather soda blasting may not be as critical as media blasting (if I recall, it was walnut shell)...but I would have preferred some control over this process Thanks, you basically confirmed my gut feeling...I just hoped I could get away with a much slowed up process |
