I have not used one but I was going to try a kit that fits my Karcher pressure washer. Here is a link to it. http://www.cpopressurewashers.com/products/2.638-792.0.html?ref=nextag2.638-792.0
I can see the advantage that it would keep the part cool so it would not warp but I think it would be just as messy as using a compressor with air blasting, so I don't think I will try. If you do try it, let us know how it works out.

I have an attachment to do that with my Power America washer.It is good for things like old bulldozers and cranes where you just want to get the loose stuff off.If I used one bag of sand in the blaster,to do the same job stripping with the power washer,I bet I would use five bags.It is not good for stripping to bare metal.I bet I have not used it in 15 years,and I think that was on a house my dad was painting.

Wet blasting is OK if all you have is a water pressure washer.
At least it keeps the dust and potential silicosis down.
Main problem is the metal rusts as soon as it dries and the wet sand packs into corners.
Do a panel, then blow dry it immediately with air or a heat gun.
You will get good results.
