I've got a bullbar and rear bar on my Hilux, both powdercoated steel made by ARB. Both are getting rusty and require a bit of refurbishment. I pulled the rear bar off this arvo and the rust was deeper than I first thought, and into some tricky crevices. The bullbar is going to be the same and in both cases the original powdercoating is not doing much good (never did actually but I won't gripe any more about that).
My original thought was to take them around to the local sandblaster/powdercoater but I know from experience that a full strip, sandblast and recoat not going to be cheap, so looking at what my other options are.
I've also got a few other rusty jobs to deal with soon, so am now considering buying a cheap sand blasting kit. Speed doesn't worry me as I can get most of it with wirewheel/flapdisk/grinder.
I've got a karcher pressure washer - so maybe a kit like this ? http://ift.tt/1G1qZjm
Also a small stanley air compressor (190LPM FAD, 50L), which I know will be slow - but something like this possibly? - http://ift.tt/1G1qZjq
Best media?
Any suggestions or user reviews?
Also after any recommendations on strippers to remove the existing powder coating.
Thanks
