Now that I have your attention.  Anyone have a sandblasting booth I could use? I need to strip the paint off of some steel wheels, and a sandblaster would be nice. It's too much work with just wire wheels. Case of Hefeweizen or whatever you like to drink if I can use it to get them done. Also if you have suggestions of places to take them to get stripped, that would be great too. Or just hijack the thread. |
Paint & Epoxy Remover
And its still in one peice? I thought he said something about danger with wind blowing at it |
Sweet Jesus! Even I never did that kind of shit in the Navy! |
I have put alot of work into it since I got it. The walls that were falling off, were falling off because of alot of rotten wood. I replaced all the rotten wood with good solid wood, then secured the walls back to the trailer. Trailer got re-caulked today. Painting to follow sometime in the next week or so. Hopefully before LCR. |
Thanks for the tip. Trying to just use the wire wheel didn't work to great. Today I used the paste style paint stripper, and I was able to get two of the rims stripped down to bare metal, and have primed them now. I used a combination of the paint stripper and the wire wheel. The rims must have been painted 3 or 4 times.  Lots of paint to get off, but when it is done it will be worth it.

If its not too late, and you are somewhat near Seattle. I'm a professional media blaster and painter. I normaly charge like 40$ to blast and epoxy prime a set of steel wheels. Let me know if your interested. http://b8.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00628/86/70/628210768_m.jpg |
I've got a shitty sand blaster for my air compressor. You are more than welcome to come over to my place and try it, but I think you'd be better off with the stripper. |
