Looking for a local sand or bead blaster

Post by LYNCHPIN »

Hi Everyone,

Need to find a local sand or bead blaster in the South East suburbs of Melbourne. Finally got a painter lined up, but need to get the car's paint stripped.

Any advice on where to get stripped would be greatly appreciated

matty, sand or bead blasting is just an easy way of removing all the paint from your car by high pressure compressed air, the only down side is the sand gets in every nook n cranny, for example when i got my car done I spent at least 3 days vacuuming it all out :evil: , then I cut holes in the inner sill pannels and found the sills were chockers full of sand still.

sandblasting

Post by fb4655 »

8) I had mine done to find all of the hidden things that I thought may be there or as it turned out what wasnt there, more holes less rust. Saves time for later fix ups, do it all now, However, the bloddy sand is still coming out.
Good luck.
