Where would you suggest to get some media blasting done in or around Wake County? Looking for frame blasting and tub blasting. Thanks.
 
Crap- there's a guy not far from you at all I talked to when I was doing (what's left of) my body tub..

I found him in the yellow pages, nice guy. Can't remember even his name though, sorry.
 
Rich: Thanks, maybe someone else will chime in. And thanks for all your input on this board...I learn alot from your posts!
 
Make your own blaster and do it yourself!
I built one from an 11 gal air tank from home depot You can get the gun from there also. Mine works awesome.I welded a
1 1/2 inch coupling to the top of the tank with a 1 1/2 plug to add sand. I'll add an actual photo later. and using an actual air tank that is rated for 200psi i didnt add the blow off valve cause my compressor only goes to 125psi.

Its the county where RALEIGH is, its the capital you know.
 
We deal with a guy who travels doing Soda blasting. He does an EXCELLENT job and will come to where you are.

His name is Doug and his # is 704-622-1340
 
Thanks for all the helpful information! I have almost got my tub pulled and almost ready for some blasting. Thanks!
 
I second the soda blasting. Doug cleaned off a NASTY axle for me and it came out pretty much spotless and he showed up to the shop to do the work, no having to haul somewhere.

WOW nice work.. that is some good tech..
 
Yo,
There's a guy north of Raleigh that advertises in Craigslist for blasting. I think its sand blasting. Search the cars/trucks parts section, Raleigh area.
 
getting some guys lined up to go in on the price of the glass bead for when i do mine. will be done in clover, sc. let me know if i can help.
 
Here are some pics of the final product!
works awesome! I am putting a 1 1/2" ball valve in the coupling to make loading it easier. you can adjust the regulator betweem 7-12psi depending what media you are using. I put a valve in the sand line so when you are not blasting you can shut off the flow of sand.
