Sandblasting

Does anyone here have access to sandblasting equipment that I could use? I don't mind throwing down a bit of cash if I have to. Just need like 15 min or so to clean up my Perrin dp. Let me know, thanks!

Something that small... I actually do. How urgent is it? I can probably do it at my buddies shop but I won't be in town this weekend. Earliest I'll be able to get to the shop is weekend after next.

You could probably walk up to any paint shop or machine shop and ask the dudes to do it. Probably cost you less than $40. You only need a small box and pretty much every shop has one... even regular mechanic shops.

I'd like to get it done either this week or next week. Pulling my turbo off tonight and taking it to GST probably tomorrow. Hoping to have my car put back together before the weekend of the 25th.

No I just passed smog today. I need to get the bottom middle hole on the hotside re-threaded and get new studs installed as well. (vf34)

edit: also gonna need some fresh uppipe studs too.

Anyways, was hoping to clean up my dp while the turbo is in for repairs.

Anyone?

Called a local paint shop but they charge a minimum for blasting regardless of how long it would take. My dp shouldn't take much more than 10 - 15min tops.
