Sand blasting/cleaning.

Post by aza013 »

Ok next weekend I will be getting out the sand blaster to clean some engine parts.
So I was thinking if any one needs some things cleaned let me know. Rock_it has some things to be done so I will get them done :D .

im changing my car color to graphite grey and i like the style of my rims but wish they could be standard alloy looking.
i also did a face lift and AB style bonnet and de-winged the car..

I think for the rims it would be better to get them acid dipped to remove the paint, then get a clear coat put on them.

I don't think you will do much better then that...

Saturday and Sunday mate.
As for what things, any thing as long as it's not to big. Post up what you need done and I can tell you if it can be done.

:lol: yep been and gone.
I got the setup for the manifolds, it cuts the time to do them by about 1/3rd.
The one I blasted last weekend is now ready for fine sanding and then polish :D .
