    Need a CARC paint shop in Colorado

    The question is what is "a reasonable cost?" Painting a vehicle now days at a body shop, will be expensive unless you know someone.

    We haven't even started looking at vehicles. Right now we are hauling scrap to gain access to the yard. I spent the last two days cutting up that nuclear missile tripod hoist......

    Yes, i'll pick it up in 2-3 weeks; after I clear a path to it. (and figure out how to get it off the 1952 M36 it is sitting on)

    Does the paint need a special compound?

    Or some sandpaper and a couple gallons of gloss automotive paint....:grd:

    My new 1951 M38 project

    So I have an opportunity to pick up a 1951 M38 with arctic top and heater; what is it realistically worth? It's been sitting since the 1970's and has virtually no rust.

    What sandblaster should i buy? need opinions...

    Your 2 gallon will not work at all. You generally need about 15 CFM (varies with tip size). Most household 5HP compressors will really struggle with a blaster. I would say that is an absolute minimum.

    You need CFM's while sandblasting. My 5 HP will actually shut off while blasting due to the air it produces (granted it was 2K). If you need to rent a compressor, they are actually not bad.

    http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_517_517 OK, they went up a bit, but it will last.

    Make sure you get one with a concave top (no need for a funnel), make sure it's at least 100 pound capacity. Northern tool sells nice ones (quality) for around $400. I have a $1400 Snap on one I found on Craigslist for $350. My 5 HP Quincy compressor easily operates it.
