Default Sand blasting

I want to strip my car trailer down and have it sand blasted. Anyone know of a place that does large items like this? Thanks

FYI you don't want it sand blasted, you want it media blasted..... Sand will warp the shit out of all the panels.....

If you have a good sized air compressor just rent it Tommy.

I did my trailer a few years back and rented a sand blaster. And if its a windy day it doesnt leave much mess around. Other then a stripped naked trailer you could hardly tell I was sand blasting.

No compressor....and no where to do it. For a one time deal, I think it would be cheaper to have it done maybe $100 bucks? Not worth my time chasing down all the stuff to do it honestly

If your going to repaint it you better put it in primer first,or it's going to chip and rust pretty easy.They make a paint called Chassis Black that I'm gonna paint my trailer with,when I get one If you can't find anyone closer to you,go get the media(Harbor Freight has stuff pretty cheap)bring me the trailer and I'll knock it out.We have a big area out back of the shop,I have a hand held blast gun.It will take some time,but we'll get it done.
