Who needs cheep sandblasting. You pay shipping.

So I'm wondering who would be willing to employ me for a few bucks by sending me their parts to sand blast or glass blast (2 types of media I have). I can shoot anything no larger than 20x15x15. Maybe larger that's rough measurements.
I've done tons of motorcycle parts and car parts.

You pay shipping both ways and idk how much I'll charge. Prob no more than $5 a part. Even less depending on size.

This thread to help motivate you to resurface parts and make them look good.

Let me know what you think.

Chrome is usually done by dipping it again in a stripper. But I've never tried to blast it.

Sure I have a few from the restoration bike I did all last summer in my basement. I can do primer coats and ship back to you, but any large body work you will have to do on your own, ie color choice. I can also clean parts that are greasy with my parts washer.

I have been sandblasting for a number of years, I have spent countless hours working behind multiple cabinets doing motorcycle parts and car parts (specifically mustang parts). I am not limited to metal ether, I can Etch glass, (put stickers on glass then blast over them, once finished remove stickers and area around it frosted, Pic to come) Rubber cleans up like new once its blasted. Look at the dirt bike tires down below.

I use a this type of cabinet but it is slightly modified to fit my needs.
http://www.toolking.com/buffalo-sbcn...FeZ_QgodyBMAkw

So some parts from the bike I did looked like this.




These are pictures of parts after blasting and gray base primers sprayed on.


This is what my parts look after primer and paint

I myself plan on glass blasting my Wiper Arms, Roof Rails (if parts will fit).
Any nuts and bolts, Tow Hooks, Coil Springs, Pulleys, Rear Wind Spoiler (if it fits),

A few things other could think about doing are, Control Arms, Bumper Brackets, Side Mirrors, basically anything else.

on a side note I am also trying to get into powder coating.

Glass frosted by media blasting to make a neat straw holder. ive done yankee candles as gifts, but no pictures

the long rails that bolt to the roof will not fit but the cross pieces will fit fine.

Ive got a husky pro compressor supplying the air to my big 30lb blaster. with vacuum hookup and lights. my materials are as rough as course sand to take thick heavy stuff off or as small and fine as crushed glass.

what are you thinking of blasting?
