You need a mid-size compressor (90-100 PSI, 10-60 HP depending on area to be blasted), suitable hoses, pressurized reservoir with opening to load blasting media and discharge pipe outlet, angular (fractured) steel shot, nozzle 3/8"-1/2" of inside diameter (ceramic or tungsten carbide preferred but hardened steel also possible), operator (either in cabinet with gloves or covered with rubber or rawhide apron ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] and rubber gloves ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] and suitable face shield ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] ). Look for shot blasting equipment in your preferred search engine for pictures of system.
