Default WANTED: Automotive Sandblaster Western Suburbs Brisbane

As the title reads, I need some sandblasting done and havent been able to find anyone decent.

I was hoping you guys could help with known people and rough price ideas for bonnet and guards.

Cheers,
Tim

Yes i would like to know as well, although im thinking maybe sandblasting might do a little too much damage to the old XY. I might go with another medium. (being in sydney with the car up there is annoying)

Escapee, visit www.earlyfords.com.au and send off an equiry to them

Instead of using sand what creates alot of heat and can potentially warp panels, another way to go is bead blasting or with bi- carb soda.
