Harbor freight sanblaster..

[joe1982]

whats up fellas, i just sold a lot of spare parts i had lying around tonight and made some extra green, so... I am looking into buying a sandblaster tomorrow. I dont need it for anything bigger than some wheels, random suspension parts and a few household items i might want to paint... anyway, I was wondering what sand blaster from HB would be my best option, i was eyeing a 20LB one that i saw today. Would that be enough for what i mentioned above?? thanks in advance guys.

If you're not in a hurry, and you have the room, the best thing you could do is get yourself a Harbor Freight 20% off coupon (available in just about any magazine these days, Hot Rod, Car and Driver, Maxim, etc.) then wait for the Harbor Freight 40 lb sand blast cabinet to go on sale for $199. Then use the coupon and get it for $160. Use the money you saved to get a couple 2x4s to brace the legs up on it, and a better gun to put in it. You'll have a nice, big cabinet for under $200.

Getting a wheel in the 40 lb one is still kind of tight to get the gun around it. I think the 20 lb one will be too small for you, unless all you're sandblasting is lug nuts and ashtrays.
