Anyone within 150 miles of Chicago have a sand blaster?

[BigDave]

Anyone with in 150 mile of Chicago have sand blasting equipment? I need to sand blast this bursh guard that I got to strip it of paint and surface rust, and I want to do it right. I would provide the sand (or whatever else you recommend or want to use for the job) and a case of your favorite drink and lunch.

If anyone has this equipment and some spare time and wouldn't mind blasting the brush guard I have I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Dave

I wish you would have said something a week ago I just did mine at work and it turned out great,we have a giant wheel abrator I stuck it in and it came out looking like a powdercoat job then I hit it with some rust prohibiter then used truck bedliner coating it looks awesome,sometimes I get away with these projects on the weekends

 

[BigDave]

Lookin' to do another project next weekend?

I dont work a weekend for a couple more weeks otherwise I would do it.Dont try to use a sander on it it wont work I did that first then about three months later the rust started popping through again.

 

[BigDave]

I got one of those paint stripper attachments for the drill and that has done a good job of taking off the loose paint, but it hasn't cut through the rust or the good powdercoat.

Once I get it completely stripped, I'm gonna spray it with a rust inhibitor and then put about three coats of Herculiner on it.

If you can run this thing through your machine at work some weekend, I would definitely be willing to drive out there. I would also try to make it worth your while somewhat. (I am currently interviewing for a position and hope that I get the good news tomorrow.)

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dave

It says 133 miles. Is Fulton on the river? It looks like I can take 88 across to get there. Which weekend were you thinking? I may have tickets to the Brickyard 400 on August 4th, so I am keeping that one open for now.

Thanks,

Dave

I was thinking the 20th or the 21st and yes Fulton is on the river.Does your brushguard brake down into three pieces?

 

[BigDave]

One big piece and the two grill type inserts to protect the headlamps.

The center and wrap-around part is one piece though.
