Wheel Sandblasting

[azathoth]

Hey all,

I have a set of old work emesh wheels for the cressida that have seen better days.

I'm going to take the centres off and get them sand blasted then repaint them.

Is there a place in canberra that can sand/bead blast them for a reasonable price?

Cheers,

Andy

Dont know Andy, sorry mate.

I'd like to get a set of my Wheels professionaly cleaned and coated.

So if you stumble across a shop in your travels that does this then please...get in touch.

Just thinking most smash repairers may be able to help you there.

Call Peter at Prestige and ask him.62601359

AA sandblasting fyshwick, i think its $30-$35 a rim,

cant remember the guy who paints and powdercoats, powdercoating was about $100-$110 a rim if i remember right. paint was more expensive.

or you can DIY with a wire brush and sandpaper, etch primer, wheel paint and lots of elbow grease. (thats what i did)

Wheel paint in a spraycan is not anywhere as strong/hard as powdercoat or 2pack. (wasted effort?)

You could get them blasted then get some GOOD 2pack paint from Allards or other auto paint suppliers.

So theres options. All depends on your $$$ and time.

or theres is soda blasting too.

really bloody amazing stuff, will strip paint off a 1970's car door without harming the chrome plastic trim.

+ it doesn’t pit the metal like sand blasting, meaning surfaces are ready to coat straight away...
