Good information. I already have the 220V 12cfm compressor for all the air tools I used to use when working on cars.
Is the blast gun different from a standard sand blast gun? I have one of those with an attached sand container for small touch ups on the car and it can be converted to bulk feed. Would that work? Would sand work or is that too large and abrasive? To avoid trouble, the cars were 12" scale but I will be using it on S Scale models. Thanks Carey Carey Probst Carey Probst Member, M.I.T.
