I'm in LOVE!!!!!!!
I recently splurged and bought a 3000 psi pressure washer. (to the dismay of my wife) I was Vindicated when I used it, my wifes father borrowed it, and our neighbor (nice lady) borrowed it. i told my wife it was a good purchase and that it was a "Family" tool (much like the 400.00 Little Giant ladder became). Well I went out and bought the sandblasting attachment from Northern Tools that goes on the end and all I can say is WOW!!! I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!! I sandblasted a battery tray and it turned out awesome!!! I can't wait to sandblast some other parts. I would be interested to see how well it will work on a fender (I have a junk one to practice on). It seems to me the pressure isn't too much and the water would keep the panel cool helping to prevent warping. I would suggest putting some eye protection on and ratty clothes as it does get all over you when blasting. But when it dries it brushes right off the skin. Like I said, I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!

Re: I'm in LOVE!!!!!!!
I'd like to know about it. I have a Troy-Bilt 3000 psi washer myself, but I've never heard of the sandblasting attachment.

Re: I'm in LOVE!!!!!!!
heres a big tip for you on the pressure washer. from the time you start cranking the engine till the engine is completely stoped keep the trigger pulled on it. if you dont it will burn up the pump quick.........
