Harbor Freight blast pot

I'm assuming you had little footies on the bottom to keep the sand out of your toesies?

 

Hahaha!! You had to know you were going to regret that!

Your weekend looks kinda like my weekend!  I've been blasting all my suspension parts with a $20 Amazon blaster and some Black Beauty blast media I picked up at Harbor Freight for $10 (man, hooray for HF).  The completely bodgy cardboard-box setup I had did almost exactly nothing to keep the mess down; my jerry-rigged Rubbermaid container "blast cabinet" was better, but I still spent all weekend looking like a 19th century coal miner.  Yeah, wear a mask!

I've used a siphon gun in the past with coal slag, it gives a rougher finish but works pretty good.  It's so damn humid down here the siphon would stop up every other minute.  I wanted something a little less abrasive for a smoother look.  I'll be clear coating the aluminium parts with a high heat clear from Eastwood Paint and my steel parts with black satin finish.  Drive Shaft, transmission mount etc.

 

Arrrghhh Cap'n!!!

I haven't tried that Eastwood paint, but I have to tell you that you make that outfit look good! Party on, my friend!
