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 aren't going to soda blast a car at home with a 110v compressor.
I'd shop around for a portable service that will come and do it for you. The newest best method uses dry ice pellets, which evaporate and leaves only residual paint. It's also the most enviro friendly. Its a newer process though and unless you're in a major metro you might not find a mobile service. The compressor you'd need to do soda blasting would have to be rented, like the kind they use for a pneumatic jack hammer. The "consumer" rental units are a V8 engine with a special cam that allows it to run on 4 cylinders, and uses the other 4 cyl to pump air. The commercial (like Sullair) have an engine that drives a scroll type compressor and cost a lot. |
