Default Re: Air Compressor

I have a hobby gun and use a 3/4 hp comp. Yea its fine for coating you only need 10 to 20 psi. I have a 20lb sand blaster but with no air your just wasting your time and sand . I chem. stripe then if needed I blast out the welds and stuff. But my buddy just gave me his old 3hp 30gal tank comp I'm hooking it up now should make the blasting a little better. Spend about $150.00 or so at Harbor Freight and you may be happy for now. The bigger the comp. the better.
