If you have a few million. i work on 12 cylinder compressors that put out 55,000 psi or more. i can't afford one. some have 24" dia inlets. but its not going to do it at that psi so you are kind of correct

I have used them and they last as long if not longer than dewalt ones I've used and longer than harbor freight ones. If you buy several at a time the shipping doesn't hurt as bad. They also sell the adhesive sandpaper discs for a DA as well as wire cups and wheels at great prices...

the next step in prep is to wipe it down with wax and grease remover and lay some high build epoxy down, I over reduce the first coat to get in all the surface imperfections and then spray it as directed and then do 2-3coats , then guide coat and block then if I sand through I re prime and block again.....then primer sealer wet sand with 400-600 depending on paint specs and ready to go

best advice . People tend to get too involved with this. its easy. Pros need to do it quick and right.buy the real stuff to do the job and get ur done. don't waste your time at harbor freight or Lowes and such. Quit wasting body materials. Thats the biggest mistake a person can do for the environment. Most amatuers waste consumables. buy the stuff that lasts. You ain't finding it at Harbor Freight or discount stores. If you want to be pro's do what the pros's do
