Sandblaster/Beadblaster service in No. VA?

[maddawg308]

I have a bunch of small parts that I would like to get beadblasted, I can't find anyone in my immediate area with that type of service. I know one guy with a beadblaster but it's pretty poor and he's hard to get ahold of.

Can anyone recommend someone in the No. VA area that does this type of work? Nothing huge, just a pile of boxes with small parts.

Almost any body shop can do blasting.

You might think about getting your own outfit from the Eastwood Company. It really doesn't cost that much to get started. Here is the web site:

Love to, Uglyranger, but I don't have a garage/shop/basement to put it in. I live in a 1000 sq. ft. house, most of my work is done outside. Be cheaper and easier to drop it off somewhere.

hndrsonj - will check out my local body shops and see what they have available.

Watch yourself with Eastwood. Alot of their stuff is repainted Horrible freight for more money.

Really!?!? Well that sucks.

Mike, have you checked into Soda Blasting? See if there is anyone around you that does that. It doesn't pit the metal like sandblasting/beadblasting does.

It might be worth noting that all the machine shops I've ever used have hot tanks and bead blasting cabinets. It might be worth looking up a reputable machine shop and give them a call.
