bead blasting

[5of7]

Does anyone here know who does a good job of bead blasting? I have a model 67 Smith that I might want blasted. 8)

There's no trick to bead blasting provided anyone has the right media! I should think any good machine shop could do it. Heck, you could rent one if you have an air compressor!

FYI - Check out the link below. It'll give you an idea of the various media available. I expect you'll want Acrylic or glass beads.

320 mesh glass bead at 60-90 psi held at a deflecting angle to the surface being blasted has consistently given me favorable results.

OK thanks. I am more interested in having it done than in doing it myself though. 8)
