drove across town to drop a set of white z rims in to get aqua blasted
ive used the place before to get a couple parts powdercoated
the guy looked a little surprised when i asked to get my rims aqua blasted and wasnt sure about doing it on plastic
after i asured him it would be fine,he went and done a test blast on a small area
looked alot better after only a couple seconds
i am collecting them on tuesday/wednesday so will post up some pictures before/after when i get them back

Looking 4 ward 2 this :daumenhoch: Where r they based ?
-
Looking forward to the pics! :daumenhoch:
-
there based in edinburgh
hoping they turn out well
he seems a fairly busy place - not sure if he would want to be involved with return postage ? but i could ask ?
ive seen tuff wheels blasted but not z rims, tuff wheels have a better smooth finish so should be easier to blast
ill be sure to upload pictures
-
what sort of price is it for you ?
I'm doing a set of white for Guff the hard way of razor shaping and sanding then bleach - then spray decals
-
he quoted me 10 pound to do the pair of rims which i thought was good as long as they turn out well
i started one of the rims with the razor method and started sanding but didnt have rough enough wet/dry paper so left them till i decided to drop them in to get aqua blasted today
ive been looking into soda blasting but not sure how that will do on plastics,mebae worth a try sometime
theres a place near me that does it
no idea of the costs tho
-
Any pics of how these turned out :)

Yep I interested 2 ;)
