Sand blaster near Everett?

[Muddy Beast]

Looking for someone to sand blast my new thors I picked up from Tom...they have bed liner on them now...but I it's starting to chip and I'd like to put these babies on with a fresh coat.

I've been grinding on them with a 60 grit 4.5" disc but it's taking way to long. So I'm hoping someone out there either has a sand blaster or knows someone who will sand blast them for me soon.

Have you tried a wire wheel or a scraper?

Eastside Customs will do it. or just do it yourself, I can't remember what it's called but I used a disk I bought that looked kinda like a sponge but was hard. I think they are designed to strip paint off.

Uhhhh.... Don't you know that face piercing is in with the younger guys?

[Muddy Beast]

Piercings are for girls... (sorry Lyle) I'll buy a mask. :)

Use those Paint strippers that look like sponges. They work great!

If my new wire wheel is struggling to get the bedliner off, I doubt the sponges would work well.

My harbor freight grinder hates the new 4" wire wheel I bought...and so do my hands. Man this thing vibrates like crazy.

Yeah it was a harbor freight sale one. I got my share of use out of it though. And it almost got everything off one of my thors.

HF grinders don't last. It is a tool you will use regularly for all sorts of projects, buy a decent one or three. On a side note, it is usually the switch that goes out in the HF grinder, you might be able to fix it if you are not able to return it.

The more agressive the wire wheel the more stress it puts on the grinder and operator ;) The better the paint, the more agressive wire wheel you need.

The "sponge" looking things can work well also, but I have only used them a couple of times.

I think the bearings or motor is shot...it makes a loud sqweel when I turn it on now and doesnt turn. It's all good though, I'll buy a decent one or buy the warrenty for the HF one next week.

I found a friend with a sand blaster cabinet though, went over there today to see if they fit and they just barely sqweeze in, he just needs sand.
