I have a 6oz jar or Paasche Airbrush "Air Eraser Compound" the contents are pumice-a very nice material. Cost me $3.
The Badger Hobby Abrasive Gun #260 came with 12oz of Badger Aluminum Oxide abrasive, which also works well.

Hi Royce,
I have a Badger Abrasive Gun which I have used to repair pitting and chips to painted ,brass bodied engines.
I like it because it will spray out a small "blast" of fine particles in 1/8 inch sized area which is really great when all you want to do is repair a small area.
You can control the "blast" about as well as if you were using an airbrush.

Hi Paul. thanks for responding.
Is this sand blaster like a paint sprayer with sand in the container ? I've actually got a Harbor Freight benchtop sand blasting cabinet which I've only tested a couple of times. I have glass bead medium. My impression is that this actually work hardens the surface with smoothe craters - not that desireable for paint to adhere to. What sort of medium are you using ?

I've got a quincy compressor which I purchased (used) because my old craftsman 1 hp compressor couldn't deliver the cfm desired by the blaster. So now I've got WAY more than I need.
