getting ready to blast my frame and seen this on muscle car. looks like it works well no dust/hood just a pressure washer supposed to take about 5 bags to do one frame

That looks pretty cool, but I would think you’ll get some surface rust with the water.

planning eastwood's chassis black directly after so i'm not that worried

Seeing that all other options are going to expensive, I’d say @ $70 bucks it’s worth a try.
Let us know how it works out. Just curious, what else are you looking at using?

Looks like a good tool to have if you have or are planning on buying a pressure washer. The reviews also look good. Thanks for the tip...

I seen them using that on Muscle Car as well. If I remember correctly they said it would not to a complete job and that you would have to finish the tough places with a dry blaster or wire wheel. That being said I am looking into one as well.

I can tell you first hand that this tool is wonderful, make sure you have a respirator and a face shield when you are doing it, the pressure from the p/washer tends to blow the sand back at ya, also make sure not to get the sand or abrasive media wet, for it will make it more challenging for it to get sucked up, another tip I can give you is to make sure you hold the clear hose parallel to the nozzle all the way to your hand it will ensure the media gets picked up. just some tips....

Hey, ese, do you think a drop type media container like you get at TSC or HF would work on this setup?

Humn pretty interesting, do show pics when your done.

They also make one for use with baking soda.It works well and is very environmentally friendly.It also is supposed to be able to be used without removing chrome etc.I have used one in demo's(worked for a "HOTSY" dealer).I have never tried it on glass or chrome.

6470chevy · 09-07-2007, 08:54 PM

i work for an equipment rental company so a pressure washer is not and issue
i was going to take the rolling chassis to work on a sat and blast it with a REAL sand blaster until I found this. anyone have a frame powdercoated? cost? or should i just use the chassis black from eastwood?

bad6772 · 09-07-2007, 09:38 PM

there was a frame that was power coated in the parts section a few month back... you might look there. i think he had a whole truck for sale, but it was apart at the time he was selling everything.........i dont think i would be very cheap? but im shure it would look good......hopes this helps
