Recommendations for sandblasting media? I've got a set of headers that I wanna put some high temp paint on, but first I need to blast the shipping paint. Borrowing a friend's speed blaster for the project. What media would be the best (read: cheapest that will get the job done) for this? And how much should it take, factoring in the extra I'm sure I'll waste by not having a clue what I'm doing?
Thanks in advance.

Dunno if I'm allowed to link to it, but I found some with this description:
BLACK BEAUTYŽ Abrasives Blast Media Fine Abrasive 20/40 Mesh Size for use in Sandblast Cabinet - 10 LBS
on Amazon for $13 shipped. Think that'll do the trick/is a good deal?
Edit: They also have 12/40 and 30/60 mesh size in 25lbs for $26 shipped. I don't know what any of this means.

Well since I wasn't getting any replies I just took a gamble and bought some Black Diamond 20/40 coal slag. Works great for light paint. Cut right through it in no time and left a nice evenly roughened surface.
