Back in '08-'09, I had my TR3 body tub and frame blasted at a local powder
coating company. $300 each. They blasted every square inch with crushed
garnet. The tub was stripped of every bolt-on part. In two different visits,
I set up both items on my makeshift engine stand rotisserie, with custom
attachments, to make it a lot easier for them and the best outcome. Worth
every penny and more.
Skip this part if you can and have a company do this work. You might even
consider a mobile unit come to you. Different media can be used depending on
paint or rust. Special care has to be taken on body parts, not to warp them,
but if the person has a little finesse, any harm can be avoided.
The important part of good blasting is high CFM from the compressor. If you
don't have enough CFM, you'll be working way too hard for way too long.

There was a time when I couldn't wait to learn how to run the cotton
picker at work. It got old kind of quick...But it still beat a day in the
office in front of the computer.
