How specialised is the gear to do this on a fairly large scale? I've got a tractor that needs sandblasting entirely back to bare metal. I've also got a big 3 phase compressor which has no problem producing a good 20CFM. The only thing I've not got is a blasting gun - is it possible to get decent kit without spending a huge pile of cash?
It basically boils down to whether it's cheaper to buy the kit myself, or strip the tractor into component parts (although a tractor doesn't strip that far, and leaves you with a chassis / engine / gearbox that weighs the best part of a tonne), taking them to be blasted, bringing them back, and paying the blastic bloke...
