This also causes major health issues if you use the wrong type of "sand" and no protection.
It could kill you. :cry:


silicosis.....thats why you should always wear a respirator & only use the bagged stuff(not beach sand)

We bought a $30 sandblaster kit from supercrap and a bucket of sand $17. Started on the boot lid does a great job just really slow going for big areas. The sand was captured and reused so cost wise it's not to bad for the results, but where waiting to take it to a professional as soon as he can fit it in, just too slow to do a whole car at home. The PO had already paint stripped the majority of the shell when i bought it, so it's just got a good coat of surface rust now.
