Do you have a decent air compressor?

Not yet its something on the list what size tank would be good?

it is more about CFM than tank size. I have a 20 gal husky that is kind of disappointing. It pretty much runs non stop because the compressor is so slow. I have a small harbor freight sand blaster that i would give you. You just need an air compressor to run it.

How well does the harbor freight one work? I’ve been thinking about buying one.

It is good as long as you use fine grit. The medium grit medias tend to clog up the gun

Thanks for replying back to me. I’m getting sick of using a wire brush.
