If you go this route make sure to get fine sand cause the course stuff will plug up the blaster very easily and make for a very slow day. Hope this helps

you my friend must be a very patient fella too blast your frame with a spot blaster

I use crushed glass in my puny blasting box. I must say it works alot better than sand but i can get it local dirt cheap $5 50# bag. the guy that did my frame uses the same stuff from the same place only he uses a more coarse grit
