compressor time
Just picked up a 30 gallon craftsman compressor. Going to get a air wrench tomarrow, some other air tools. And most of all a sand blaster. I can finally finish my rims, and do sand blasting for fellow 2k1 peeps for cheap

Rep Power: 419 Sweet dude. I've got an air compressor too. I'll probably get a sand blaster when I need it. Right now I don't though. Do you still have those wheels with the paint falling off? Are those the ones you want to do?

Sweet dude.

Are those the ones you want to do? Anyhow, I am just taking a break right now. Takes about 1/2 hour per rim to blast all the paint off. Actually I am in-between coats of primer for 2 rims right now. Just letting them dry. Got 1 rim that I am taping up for paint, and 1 unblasted rim. At this rate I will be done today, and hopyfully around 4pm the rims will be back on the car
i never knew how much life can be easier with a compressor
brb going to snap pics of the process

Thanks. Last night before I came in the house I was waxing up the tires. Im going outside to mount them and take pics now. bbiaf
i got my compressor about 2 months ago. its a sears horizontal red 155 gallon tank. it came with a coil plastic hose, impact wrench, air hammer, and a air wrench. i bought a sweet *** gravity fed paint gun and a whole bunch of stuff. this thing has a 50-75% duty time so i had plenty of time to paint my kit.

Rep Power: 0 I just got one too. I got a 30 gallon with impact, wrench, blower, cutting tool, chissel and a bunch of hose and fitting for $269. Awsome deal I think, it's a Husky. I bought a few torque wrenches too.
