    Arrow Sandblast

    Hey Guys.
    I'd like to take the ugly chrome finish from my wheels out. I just want to have them sandblast so I can paint them myself.
    Do you people know any good places that does that fot not to expensive?

    what are they made of??? if they are a cheap rim made of a soft alloy then you'd probably want to sodablast them...but if you just want them sandblasted i know a guy with a sandblaster, i can ask him how much he'd charge to blast them for you.

    its like sandblasting but with like a baking soda stuff that is a lot less harsh on the metals than the sand.

    Kong's Body Shop has a sandblaster. r71 is the owner. You could probably talk him into doing it cheap.

    You can check with Unlimited Performance (formerly Custom Performance and Fabrication). He does some sandblasting but I'm not quite sure if he can do chrome. 770-943-1968.
