I just picked up a 5 horse 20 gallon 110v air compressor, and a sandblaster gun!



I just hooked it up and tested it on part of a rusty subframe on my RX7..



BLAST = CLEAN



It's ridiculous how fun this is. I mean, it comes out so ******* nice looking, and all you do is blast it over a few times. And it makes a cool mess everywhere but WHO CARES!!



I gots me some goggles and a breathing mask, and I'm blasting my whole engine bay Saturday morning, then the painter is coming to paint it around noon on Saturday. THIS IS GONNA BE SWEET!















SWEET!!!



I have alot of experience with air tools and **** at work, but one thing I never got too in-depth with was duty cycles and crap on smaller air compressors, since our shop air compressor is bigger than most FB's.



For how long periods of time should I be running this 110v electric 5 horse? The 20 gallon tank is pretty tiny, so I lose air awful quick then the compressor kicks back on...



What do you think guys?

 

So what address should I shop the repu Frame too?

 

DOWNTOWN CANADA MAN!!!



**** I'M SO EXCITED!! I CAN'T WAIT TO BLAST MY CAR ON SATURDAY!

 

HAHA....i was thinking the same thing. Soooooooooooooo where do you live colin, good oll buddy oll pal

I see banzai lurking.. TELL ME ABOUT MY COMPRESSOR!

 

Uh.. I see that you need to make space for my Repu frame..

 

You were gonna ship him my repu frame too?

 

mine is about the same size (22 gallon, I think). Whenever I hear it start pumping, I just stop using it and wait. Gives me a good time to get a drink or something.
