Thanks for the replies so far.

My pressure washer is on it's last legs so I will be getting a replacement in the very near future.

I have pressure washed old paint before and it does decent job if the paint is not super cured into it's substrata.

In some cases just getting all the "loose" stuff off is good enough but in others I would really like to get back down to the original surface.

This is the case for both house and vehicle/equipment applications.

Thus my interest in media blasting as an additional option.

My air compressor may not be strong enough for some of these machines that are built for blasting too....so that's something for me to consider.

I also realize that investing in a larger compressor and larger pressure washer may not be practical if it's just to accommodate my blasting "needs".

Ergo - sometimes it's more practical to bring someone in on a case by case basis.

That said - I enjoy the freedom of doing things myself so wanted to tap into the collective here to hear about your experiences.

Thanks for any continued input and thoughts.....really appreciate it!
