Sandblasting

I think I’d let someone else blast a trailer, but I’ll stick with my hot pressure washer and a needle scaler on the truck frame if it needs touched up.

 

Pressure washers with steamers work great and are a cleaner way to do it for sure. In 2005 I bought a 4500 psi Hydrotek for $350 at a police auction. They said it was siezed in a raid of a meth lab. Guess they used it to keep the place clean. Lol! Stripped many things with it. Even 6 layers of paint off of a ‘74 Stuper Beetle.

Only problem is the water gets between crossmembers and double frames ,seams,
wells and takes forever to dry out. Pro is you don’t have to suit up. Do it on a hot summer day and it’s like a day on the beach. Still for me it’s easier and more convenient than messing around with the blaster media.

 

Geez man, that looks AWESOME.

 

OP
Outstanding Work Sir!

 

You can run media ( or beach sand) with syphon through pressure washer. Dustless sandblasting.
Ive alway done traditional sandblasting with tarp on ground to recover media. Did a ‘48 sedan delivery, inside, outside,,only used 5 bags as I recovered the media 3 times

 

What kind of respirator and sand blast Hood or outfit are you using?

 

REgular hood,,,3M respirator with DUST FILTERS.. (the big pink ones). Nothing gets past.

 

Wow!! That frame looks good. Great job.
