Some parts of my engine (Beta 28) are flaking their Ford red paint and before I clean and paint the entire engine, I would like to soda blast these parts--sanding or even wire brushing would be ineffective since much of the flaking is in places where it is difficult if not impossible to fit, let alone use a small brush.
Since the areas are small, I thought I might use a relatively small volume air compressor to do it. OTOH, most sites on the web claim that you need a large volume compressor to do blasting like this. I think that with a smaller volume tank I might only get serious pressure in short time bursts while the compressor motor works to build up the tank pressure. Is this correct and if so, could such a small job be tackled without a large volume compressor? Has anyone on the list attempted something like this with success (or not!)?
