Sand blasting/cleaning.
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 .

Re: Sand blasting/cleaning.
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..
soo what are your thoughts? can it be done? or take it to a shop?

Re: Sand blasting/cleaning.
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.

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.

Re: Sand blasting/cleaning.
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 .
