cruiser88- I finally got it figured out, I just don't have enough air flow for it to work properly... I finally got the flow going good and my poor little compressor just ran the whole friggin time... when I close the deadman valve to let it catch up the nozzle would clog so bad that I didn't have the pressure and flow to clear it...

webelk6- I am glad you wrote that. I was starting to think that I don't like this DIY blasting much.... take that back I loved it while it worked, for about 20 seconds... The amber blast pitted the bonnet that I did finally get done badly... At least I think it was bad. First experience with blasting. It has a diamond type look to it and felt rough... Now that said it was allowing the rustoleum white primer that I sprayed (for the first time ever, that was fun too!) But I can see the really pitted area's around the bolt holes were I had the worst amount of rust and stayed on it longer with blaster... So I am assuming that I can build places like that up some with primer... but this is not a trailer queen so I am not looking for perfection....Mostly have a great time working on it just get frstrated/worried that I may not have capability to do this all on my own...

thanks everyone for chiming in! Just when I get down on the project someone lets me know they had that problem too and what they did to evercome it... great place to be this MUDD!
