You say no one can aqua blast them in your part of the country. But you haven't said where abouts you live. So where are you based?

Threaders:
Based in Norwich :(
I cant see how aqua blasting can work to be honest. Getting the paint of isn't to much of a headache, but all the crap underneath is. I am using quite coarse paper and am still struggling. Maybe someone tried to dye them black at some point?
I apreciate your replies though :) :daumenhoch:

you can razor any straight-ish edge - then you just keep sanding them down to a smooth finish

if you keep going then in the end you will have some fantastic mags that will look show worthy  8)

I have four sets of red to do (half way through two ) then i have two sets of yellows and a set of green  ::)

just keep going mate  :daumenhoch:

I took my White tuffs to a bloke who does aqua blasting in Colchester which isn't that far away from you. He is called cc aqua blasting Ltd. Look it up on the web. He spent 2 hours doing my tuffs. And they look minty mint. It would be worth getting them done as red alloy hubbed tuffs are super rare. I watched him do them one evening. It was good to see the results. Hope this helps stu.  :daumenhoch:
