i bought my self a new compressor a few weeks back to finish sand blasting the body of my JB, ( pics soon)
On thurs last week i also bought myself a sandblasting cabinet for small parts ie suspension parts, brackets etc...
just thought i would do some before and after pics before i take them to work to be chrome electroplated.
due to it being illegal to chrome major suspension part like trailing arms and cross members i've had to paint them in 2 pac silver
supension, engine mounts etc before electroplating

the cabinets aren't that expensive around $450 depending were your go but finding a big enough compressor to deliver the massive air flow they use is....... :x
but well worth it, the finish is great even on parts that look like they are held together with rust still come up a million bucks,
as for the car its a very messy job, it ressembles a sand castle atm......... but for stripping the engine bay and the interior back its so much better than hand sanding.
will post pics when i find the car under the sand and its looking reasonable.

Just a hint, BOC Air Compressors are exactly the same (ie made by) as Peerless but usually cost a bit less. I think it depends on the Gun your using though as to how big the Air Compressor you need as the one I'm using doesn't out-run my Single Phase 15AMP Air Compressor.igottasicjb wrote:the cabinets aren't that expensive around $450 depending were your go but finding a big enough compressor to deliver the massive air flow they use is....... :x
Computer games don't affect kids I mean if PacMan affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music :D

the compressor i bought is a 3 phase Pilot K30, (32 CFM) free air delivery of 964ltrs per minute @ 150 psi. tank capacity is 160ltrs.
the reason i went so big is because i have burnt the starter capacitor out of three 13cfm whilst sandblasting. plus i was sick of them not keeping up the air demand. i can run the sandblaster and an air drill no stop and the compressor only starts up for 20 seconds every minute or so..
the only bad part is the power bill will be f#*kin huge. its got a 7.5 kw motor that draws 60amps on start up
