Re: what equipment to buy for "Sandblasting"?

welcome to the board i will agree with the guys that say to just have someone else do it it might come out cheaper if you find the right company. My brother and i tryed my truck in one rear fender we took a good while, so he decided to blast his truck by a company and it was worth it and a lot cleaner. Some things you just have to leave it up to the people that do it everyday. By the way check it out the end result of my brothers truck.

Re: what equipment to buy for "Sandblasting"?

that last post says it all...

some things are worth paying for to save face for other things that are better done at home. I am fortunate to have a blaster at work but still isnt big enough for a cab.

these guys really seem to know their sheet!

nice truck man! can;t wait to see it done.

Thanks,
now the best part of it was that they charged him 345 to do the whole truck. And when i say the whole truck i mean it doors, fenders, bed, hinges, grill and etc.
