I used a 21 gallon compressor when soda blasting…but only used 65lbs of air. When I moved to a bigger compressor I went to high psi.
I hear people who express concern about media that roughs up the aluminum. I don’t get it. Who cares. It gives the primer some "tooth" to grab hold of. The primer will self level somewhat, then high quality color coat should…if properly applied…level out and make the aluminum look fine.
So I use slag/black beauty and lots of air. I don’t worry about the texturing that happens unless I’m going to polish the part.
But mucho air is a must!
