Man, this sucks! Ok, let me start from the beginning.
I have my fenders, doors, hood and grille off of my truck and they're ready for sandblasting. Well, I went and bought a $285 compressor from Home Depot the other day. 5.5HP and a 26 gallon tank. I'm not sure what the CFM output was, but ANYWAYS, I also went to Pepboys and bought a Syphon blaster ($30) and I hooked it up and it didn't work really well. I mean, it kept seeming like it was getting clogged up or something. Well after waiting a few seconds for the sand to start coming back through, the PSI would drop on the compressor and it woulnd't take the rust off... THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING! I was told the $150 sandblaster's wouldn't do any better than that syphon blaster (I've been told that by several people). What should I do? I don't want to buy an $1800 compressor and I sure as heck don't wanna pay $1000+ for my pieces to get sandblasted.
Is there any other way to take rust off or ANYYYYYY alternative??? I'm frustrated and would like to start doing my body work, but I can't because nothing is sandblasted.
Thanks!
