Anyone here use a sand blaster? I'm thinking about going black with my truck. I would like to get a decent one and redo my backhoe this winter.

 

What do you guys think of this one?

I've used the cheap medium sized one from harbor freight for doing wheels and smaller projects. I rented a big one from a local equipment rental place when I went to media blast a whole car.

THAT stuff is nasty and gets everywhere, I would suggest calling around to local shops and seeing how much they charge to do it. It really is a pain in the butt to do, and by the time you buy everything to do it yourself you may only end up saving a few bucks.

 

I know but I have a about 500lbs of black beauty I received from a guy for free. I don't know what to do with it all. All I need is a machine, I have the PPE and all of that.
