Sandblasting
Wondering if anyone has a sand blaster or some other sandblasting mechanism. to clean up some rims....either to borrow or do themselves (will pay). i have a set of rims which i want to clean up and put on the car. so any help would be great.

Where in Ontario are you? Carcones Auto does an awesome job, but you pay for it. If there semi decent rims its worth it IMHO
Hey Curtis,
If they're not too bad you can bring em here sometime to do them. We've got a sandblaster, it just takes quite abit of time.
Most shops will do them fairly cheap if you bring them in and have them done on their bench.

Princess Auto has a small sand blaster contraption on sale this week and I think I am going to try it. Might be ok for small jobs. My luck with PA has been mixed, more bad things than good. Knowing my luck and PA quality, the damn thing will blow up sending sand particles into my skull. Prehaps trying to join the big rock in my head.

Hey Jon
its mainly the lil corners that i can't get at with a wirebrush and it will most likely take forever...theres a tiny bit of corrosion but im hoping that would go away with the blasting....then i could do the painting and such myself.... ill see if i can get some pictures up...just gotta find the camera first.....
can't really see the corroded parts in these but its mainly on the smaller triangles right in the "well" i guess....in the corners that go in. on the outer edge.
