I popped a couple of questions off-line to Jim concerning the type of spray paint to use on the compressor/condenser assembly (I was told once not to use glossy black because it wouldn't allow the compressor to "breathe") and the type/grit of sand to use to sandblast the compressor.  Here are his responses:

Hey Eric,

Using "glossy" paint doesn't allow the compressor to breathe...?  
You're right, that sounds rediculous!
As far as the sand is concerned, utilize silica sand and how fine the sand is, you'll have to ask; I can't remember (30F or 40F, I think) at the moment...

Hey Bud,

  We use glass beads to blast with. If it's real heavy rust, use a carbon base media. As far as gloss or flat, no difference. The brand new condenser coils, we use, come with gloss finishes from the factory. Use a good quality paint, Rustoleum or Krylon. Good luck!
