So I'm in the process of painting a bucket truck and eventually a few other pieces of equipment... and I have a sand blaster that I got for 30 bucks a while back needed a new ball valve.... anyway I'm slowly sand blasting a few crevices and hard to reach spots with blaster and my compressor does a decent job keeping up but eventually blaster wins.... FYI: I'm knew to sand blasting so still learning best way to operate the rig... I have the harbor freight garage 40lb blaster thats rated for 6-25 cfm and pressure range 60-125psi, I also have a Hitachi gas compressor that is 5.5hp 8gal max pressure 145psi air delivery 10.9cfm@40psi 9.3cfm@90psi... so know that that is out there how can I make this the most efficient way to prep for painting... I've searched a bit on the web on how to increase cfm, by connecting tanks to give more volume of compressed air... how could I do this?
Another thing I tried was ezrental but the smallest cfm they had was 8cfm then to 100cfm, could a 100cfm compressor be toned down to work more efficiently for the blaster then my compressor cuz I'm willing to rent for a day to get this done fast?
Btw I know this isnt really the site for this but it is for painting a bucket truck and I'm sure I'm not the only person here that wants to make his bucket truck look nicer lol.
Thanks mike
