rossi 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Hey. Ive been reading one of the 'refurb wheels' articles & I'm wanting to refurb mine. What kind of place would shot blast aluminium? I'm struggling to find a place that does it in this area. Anyone who lives in lancashire (oop north) done this? Ta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edthedrummer 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Is it not possible to do yourself then? providing you have a compressor and sand blasting gun? Is aluminium different to work on then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottieb 0 Posted May 23, 2007 No, but it would be very messy. any poweder coater will do shotblasting for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted May 23, 2007 Better off with plastic beads for aluminium, shot will damage it and sand will embed in the surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
