I have a sanblasting cabinet that I built. I also have the $40
pot type. Whats the big deal? I sand blast anything with rust. The
problem then becames what to do with it to prevent rusting again. Plating
is what the fatory does most, and is the best. Ospho is a great rust
inhibitor, thats what I use next, primer and paint. This is mainly for
small parts that can be removed. If you are looking to clean the rust off
the side of your Van, forget it. You need to strip and remove everything
inside and out. Then sand gets everywhere, inside and out. clean up, then
Ospho, prime and paint, reinstall everything. Easier buying a new vehicle.
