Ant Baker Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 So i am looking to refurb my alloys and though it might be wise to get a sandblaster to make the job easier. 1. Do i really need one? 2. I was looking at this http://bit.ly/NUJGxq I have an air compressor and was just wondering if anyone has had any experience of this or a similar item?

Ant Baker Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ok well by the sound of it cheap doesnt mean awful when it comes to sandblasting Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublet Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm guessing the quality of the compressor is more important. All the gun has to do is to mix some sand particles into the air and unlike paint I don't think the even distribution is as critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
