Vapor blasting. Not many people do it right now so there's less competition and a better chance to build up a good reputation.  Low investment, minimal consumables and no real inventory that sits on the shelf waiting for buyers.

 

When you are not doing customer work, do work on parts that you can easily sell online and ship anywhere in the world.

This is beginning to take traction in my mind.  Is there anyone in The Hive who has personal experience with vapor blasting?

What all gets vapor blasted in this world? I am tangentially aware of automotive aluminum parts, but what else sees the need? What does the equipment look like and how much shop space do you need? Any supporting equipment like huge compressor with a dryer and or running water?

Graffiti removal  is one thing that dry ice blasting is good for , many cities use it , 

Anyone know how much it costs in material to  run a dry ice blaster for 30 minutes ?

Or, and this is serious, building V8 Miatas. Get enough money up front to cover the cost of the parts and the actual investment is pretty minor.

 

I might actually run with this.
