Shot blasting and painting recommendation.

[Colin Blues2]

I've just got these home and I want to get them cleaned up and painted - can anyone recommend a place to shot-blast and paint them? Somewhere reasonably close to Bracknell.

I can't be a***d to sand and paint them myself. It's enough work doing the chassis on the tiv which is why I bought them.

You might be better getting them galvanized, it will certainly outlast the paint (knocks etc).
The process may involve an acid dip which will shift the rust.
Any people out there know?

They were a bargin.

Bloody right! I couldn't buy the materials to fabricate those for that sort of money.
Still, I like the design, may be a bit of plagiarism in the pipeline...

I had the chassis of my M galvanised, was about £120 from what I remember. They did shot blast if first.

I was expecting to have to go much higher. They need a bit of work though. The two upright thingys are like hydraulic dampers I think they are supposed to control the rocking action, but one of them is seized I think. Didn't get home with them until 11pm last night so haven't had a good look around yet.

If you want any details I can take some photo's and send them if you like.

Here at Wedg1e Villas, space isn't that much of a problem. Nor, come to that, are nagging wimmin
Much as I'd like a 2 or 4-poster lift, the neighbours wouldn't.
However I'm getting a little long on the tooth for crawling under sports cars with less ground clearance than an ant's whatsit, and something along the lines of your seesaw would do nicely
