Sand / Media Blasting In Aberdeen?

[GrumpyTwo]

Hi
I need to get my centerstand and two rider footrests sand blasted, does anyone know if there is anyone in Aberdeen or South of Aberdeen that can do it for me?
I have tried a few places but as usual if its not oil or gas they are not interested.

Cheers
Colin

Sand Blasting is very abrasive and will leave a "pitted" finish on your bits.
Bead Blasting uses a crushed glass and will not "Pitt" the surface except where it is already pitted with rust holes.
There is Vapour blasting , which i think is expensive and not necessary for
the parts you mention.

A Half an Hour and a good Dollop of Elbow grease , with a Brass wire brush
on the end of your Drill , is the way to go..

you'll be cheaper getting hold of a used set m8

You could try ringing round some of the agricultural engineers in the area
They will probably know some small outfit that can sort you out

Thanks for the ideas folks, I never even thought of "Wheel Refurbishing" done a google search and found these people in Dyce http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/locations/aberdeen/
they will blast all my bits and powdercoat the centre stand for me.
So thanks again for your help.

You seem to be sorted, but I had my pannier frames done by a guy in Forfar if plan A doesn't work!

Only just seen this

I have used a loon in Newburgh, Ellon. He did my H&P engine bars £40.

PPS in Inverurie blasted and coated a frame and bits and pieces for me for a restoration - did a great job.
