I must have missed this post, ... makes me laugh when I recall my own attempt with a sand-blaster and my little 5hp compressor, how very frustrating to not have the CFM!!!
Used a friend's diesel compressor/trailer with full power-vented suit, mucho better.

It requires a recovery time of about 2 minutes to bring it back up from 80lbs after the 45 seconds of blasting each wheel.
