shotblasting rip off
« on: February 27, 2007, 08:29 PM »
 used my local sandblaster for a couple of years now and allways thought he was reasonable.

went back today to get my billys frame/forks and bars done and it's jumped from approx 10 pounds

to 25 pounds.  asked him why and he said it's because blasting frames that were powdered

takes up to 3 times as long >:(  to be honest that's true but still a steep rise in price :(

so any frames i paint that need blasting,  if you can get your parts blasted local to you then

it would keep cost down,  good news is that i'm looking for a larger strip tank  :daumenhoch:

ps  does any south guys know any cheap sandblasters :)

I took a Torker cruiser frame and forks and 2 sets of bars and it cost £45 to get them blasted. That was in Doncaster. I now nitromors and sand all my stuff by hand.... sandblasting leaves little pits sometimes so you end up sanding the frame anyway  ;D
