Just did the EastWood not worth the money in my opinion

I usually put tarps under what I'm blasting so I can recycle the black beauty (media), and in general keep the place a little clean.

That's a great idea. Sand was all I could get in the time frame I had.

Was it this product, the Extreme Chassis Black, or the Original Chassis Black?

Needle scalers do a good job... but boy, are they ever noisy.

That's a hell of a setup you got going on there. The finish looks good.

Well it depends on what condition the metal is in beforehand. If you are covering the rust or blasting it all off to bare metal. I didn't see any primer going on that bare metal. I would have used a good epoxy primer first before any coating. Epoxy primer is the best thing to use on bare metal. Covering rust vs converting it is another story. If it where mine and blasting it is out of the question then i would try a rust converter. Witch is best for your application is up for debate.

A product i used but it was only a small area and it was cleaned up first with a wire wheel.
