Just be careful you don't warp the metal. Thats why a lot of shops use soda or media blasting. If you are going to use sand make sure it's real fine and don't let the metal get hot.

And... dont point the tip DIRECTLY at the metal. Keep it at about a 45 degree angle, this will also reduce the chance of warpage. The best thing to do is practice on a old junk fender, or on a spot that you are going to replace. That way you will get a better feel for what is goung on.

Dang that's a nice unit.
I shoulda gone that route instead of keep blowing up much smaller units.

That thing is sweet. I have a big, but smaller than yours, compressor and while spraying texture and paint all week have been amazed at the work out you can put on one. :drool::drool:

Look at all those stickers. Are you sure it's safe to use?

It reminded me of a new ladder, and to think I took half of them off.

Repeated light passes at different angles will give the best results and minimize any chance of warpage.
Don't use any sort of sand for the body, it will etch the metal and leave a texture that is miserable to deal with for bodywork, plus you will NEVER get it all out.
Spend the money for an organic media such as walnut hulls. At least if any of it creeps into mechanicals it will not be as abrasive.
