This is what I use!!! One sweet little device! You could do the covers and pan in under 20 minutes...
Maybe 30...
Your stuff is looking good though!

If you mean the sand when you say sand blast stuff, you can get it at most lumber yard or construction supply places, probably even Home Depot.
I use play sand for the rougher stuff and the beading sand for a smoother finish, but it doesn't cut as fast.
Both are relatively cheap, and if you put some visquene down, you can catch, strain, and reuse it.

50 bucks buys the gun... Seems high but the convienience and small size is the cost I think. It will run off a pancake style small compressor. Then you have air for blowing off parts etc. I have used the $99 compressor to run an impact and die grinder but only for a few seconds at a time...

That color is Cast Coat aluminum. I have 2 more coats to go and after it's run up to temp I hear it will darken a tad.

it looks real nice I like the color but a few tips I would not have painted the inside of the filler neck or any thing that is inside of the engine. the spark plug holes and gasket serfices are a real no no. did you get over spray in the cylinders?
screw in some old spark plugs and spread a little grease on the gasket serfices before you paint.
