Media blasting NA Nose cone

Postby Mr. Keets » Sat Jan 07, 2012 11:24 am

While the nose cone is off for the AVO kit I thought I would fix the paint issue...incorrect prep caused the paint to peel off. The problem is that while I can find diamond blasting for metal, I cant find anyone who can blast the urethan nose cone.

Anyone got any contacts in PERTH?

I dont know if they do what you want to do, but i can recommend a good panel beater/spray company in Ozbourne Park, Perth if you want to contact them.

The man to ask for is Phil and the company is called AFM, tel: 08 9244 5333.

Tell him Al with the red MX5 recommended him. If he cant do it i'm sure he can recommend someone else.

Good luck :D

Is there anything wrong with sanding with wet/dry paper?

Soda blast, what we use on the plastic panels on the coaches.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Call AFM, mention Al...cool
Wet and dry...I'm relying on a mate to wrangle that part of the build while I'm OS so it's probably a bit much to ask
Soda blasting is what I'm after, cant find it in Perth for some reason
