As a side note to this. I once blasted and painted a flat bed semi trailer. 
The guy I did it for had the coolest compressor I have ever seen.
 It was a 352 Ford FE engine! Ran on 4 cyls and pumped air on the other 4! 
It was a beast, NO air tank needed! Just fire it up and go.
 I don't know who built it but it was governed and would run a paint gun at 
idle! Blasting would cycle rpms. The guy said they only time it ran full 
bore was with Jack hammers and such.

agree, I have a smith comerical compressor, driven by a Wiscousin 4
cylinder, I have it mounted on wells, my holding tank is 500 Gal.
I have the blast and vac system that I shoots 5 mediums, vacum as it blasts,
recycles  the media, so need for blast cabient, only us blast area confined.
I do place this in a 16 ft trailer, and can be mobile to do cars, the main
reason is that when I buy and restore houses, I now can save the original
trim, no mess, just tape off and bamb, redo kitchen cabients, saves
1000.00's
As I retired early, this provides an excellent income, and work when wife
says to,,yea sure!!
