Bought an old trailer. What is the best way to paint it. I want it to look nice and hold up but it does not have to be perfect. Thinking of using implement paint at TSC.
One thing I was wondering, I have seen "sandblast kits" for pressure washers. DO these work well and would it be good for what I am wanting to do?
Use your pressure washer with the wand set for a thin "knife" pattern about
3" from the surface and angled about 30 degrees from perpendicular.This will carve off all kinds of old paint.
FWIW, it'll also carve concrete...
I wouldn't sand blast anything that couldn't be completely disassembled. No matter how hard you try, the sand seems to get in to everything.
I would recommend power washing it with a good water based cleaner/degreaser. Then power and hand brushing any rough areas the power wash wouldn't remove. Then power wash again.
Any chance you could publish a link on the sandblaster kit please? I never heard of such a attachment but I could sure use one!
Thanks in advance,

Any experience with it Grant? Looks like it's sold by Karcher? The Karcher's I've run have been good machines. Wet sand blasting sure looks like it would have possibilities.

No experience here, just googling for the guy who couldn't find one.
