Power washer/sandblaster

[uhcrandy]

I am sorry i dont have a link, but I have seen an attachment to my powerwasher that will allow it to be used as a sandblaster. There is a pick-up that you put into blast media and then is sucked into a special nozzle. Has anyone seen/used this? I would like to try sandblasting my car. You guys are great. Thanks

I have seen it done. it used to be more common to do the wet blasting that way but it seems to have kind of gone away a bit (except on ships and other BIG things).
should work well but you need to look at the rust haze you will have right after and be prepaired to deal with it

I have a cheap kit myself.. it works alright.. I'd say it removes paint as well as a small air sandblaster with an air psi @90. Problem with sandblasting with air, is that you need a giant powerful compressor to keep up. But with the powerwasher.. it can keep up, but its pretty messy ! Wherever the water gets.. theres sand. I dont know what you plan on blasting.. but, depending on what you are blasting off.. it can be quick.. or a real long job. I'll sell you my kit, if you are interested in it.
