Sandblasting is a very messy operation , if you can't afford a two stage
compressor and a pressure blaster and the frame is what you want done find a
commercial sandblaster to do it. The job will be a lot faster than you could
with a small compressor and a cheaper sandblasting outfit. A small
compressor will run all the time, it will get hot and moisture will get in
your lines causing the sandblaster to clog,frustrating . A pressure
sandblaster is the only way to go, it is much faster than a siphon one.
Just my experiences .
