First, apologies if this post doesn't belong here, but i couldn't find any other section where i could ask this question.

With that out of the way, i would like to bead blast some small aluminum items. They range from 3-8 inches in length and width. If somebody has some idle equipment that i can use, and they would like to make some money, please contact me.

For the sake of convenience, i would prefer to stick to Richmond or Vancouver.

Thank you.

If you're in Richmond, try Air Strip at Shell and Bridgeport. They do all sorts of blasting. Had a few random car parts and 2 sets of wheels done by them before powdercoating. Pretty cheap if I remember correctly.

Yes, i am in Richmond. My preference would be to help defray the equipment cost of another do-it-yourselfer, but will go the commercial route if nothing pans out.

How long did it take you to do a set of wheels? What style were they (obv. a tight mesh style would take a lot longer than flat 5 spoke design)?

Thanks.
