Personally, I agree with G.R. Considering the investment in equipment
required and EPA reg, etc, it is usually more cost effective to hire
sandblasting. I had my DUKW hatch covers, windshield frame ( I
disasembled the frame prior to blasting), rear deck panel done for under
$100.00.
Now, here is the catch! You must retrieve the parts immediately and get
the primer on them quickly ( read within hours ) or they will begin to
surface rust and you will have to clean them before painting.
Unless you are using the equipment frequently, it probably isn't worth
buying your own equipment.
Just my $.02
