I just used a HF abrasive blast gun #92857 $24.95 and bought 5 lbs of #98329 glass beads today & tried it out this evening & it cleans so fast I was totally impressed. I had a quantity of some unlabeled dark red fine abrasive which didn't come from HF which didn't work so I tried the glass beads on a spot on a junk rim as I was leery just to see if it'd work as I thought maybe the HF gun was for some special media & it sure did work like gangbusters. Waiting for a warm(er) day so I can finish blasting then etch/prime then paint with the recommendations in this thread EDIT the glass beads were $7.99



How long did it take to do the rim??? And how much bead did you go through???
