Brush hog Wet sanded, primed and ready for paint.

Been raining off and on past several days. Finished wet sandblasting this morning and then primer coat put on. After sandblasting I used my leaf blower to dry and no rust. To keep my sand dry I drilled a 7/16 hole in the 5-gallon lid and ran the sand feed tube thru it.
I used a total of 12 bags of play sand @ 5.00 a bag, 2 cans of rust o Leum primer @ 7.00 a can and 15.00 for a quart of Kubota orange paint that I will use my airless sprayer to paint.
Primer needs to cure 24 hours before painting.
I have maybe 1 and 1/2 hours in wet sandblasting, 5 minutes in drying, 10 minutes in primer. Paint wont be here till the 17th. I moved the location of the brush hog as it needed to be laying down at a slope and very little wet sand got on me. I will post completed job.
Wet sandblasting is the way to go.

Looks good! I would have pounded out that bottom piece, welded it, and ground it flat before I painted it though. Also woulda cleaned up some of those other welds. Otherwise, great job!

I was actually just playing with it sense I got the new wet sandblaster. Didn't want to put much time in it.
