Media blast & polisher?

[thompo]

Anyone got access to a media blaster?

Got some motorbike wheels that ive polished and painted myself.

I want them blasted to remove the paint and re-polished.

Can sort the polishing myself if i can get them blasted

watch out getting anything blasted at UIS thy are a bit hard on alloy, seen a few frames and forks wrecked

Cheres for the heads up, any recommendations?

nu look are hard to beat, it's who we used in Audi, they did a set of OZ monza's for me and it was a great job

guys called a2z in portadown sorted some wrecked wheels for a mate too

Roughly how much are you talking for 4 wheels? I've a set that were crying out for it 3 years ago, just never thought it would be cost effective to get them done when you could just buy a new set complete with tyres for £4-500 when the tyres need replaced.

[simon]

about £150 for a set of 18s i think last time I checked, can be hard to swallow when 4 tyres are 200quid odds and as you say a set of replica wheels are £400 these days. only really wrth it on a nice set of OZ or Speedlines or the like or if you like your OE wheels

i was looking someone to do this on my wheels there a while ago but no longer have the cash for it so being put off, i have heard very good reports about the dude in portadown, have also heard about a guy in tandragee called a27 engineering, not 100% sure where he is though,

theres also another guy ive heard good reports of, hes between hillsborough and lisburn, if youre coming from hillsborough roundabout to lisburn hes down harrys road which is the first turn off on your left, down there go to the end then go across the cross roads and hes in the industrial estate on your right i think, thats all the people i know of,

just while im here myself does anyone know if you need to go to any specialist guy to get a set of chrome wheels cleaned up or will any normal guy in this trade be able to do it? the wheels arnt all chrome, the inside of them is painted black and the rims are just chrome.

really want to get the blur re painted, what is the best option then for stripping the paint? whats the opinions on nitromors? know people who swear by it, but can it not also eat away at the alloy on the frame? id really hate to wreck that blur :/
