If you have a big enough compressor to run a sandblaster. Harbor Freight has some reasonably priced pressure pot models. Sandblasters use a lot of air. It is kind of like holding a big blow gun open all the time

I've used (borrowed from a friend) this model from HF - http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/D ... mber=40925 - used mostly for smaller parts but I clean up a front clip with it too... I have a Husky 5.2 HP 25 gallon compressor and had no problem with the blasting. Watch the sand you get, make sure it's specifically for "sand blasting" - got mine at the local Orchard Supply Hardware and it worked fine (most of the time). A few times I needed to clean out the nozzle and twice needed to undo and clean out the bottom hose since some bigger than passible sand particles got stuck. Lesson learned here - strain your sand before putting it directly in the hopper - takes more time up front but time well spend versus pulling it apart to clear a plug.
