Hey guys i desperatly need some numbers of blokes that do mobile soda blasting. If you have had positive encounters with a business post them up because i need to get my bay blasted asap! Cheers Tas

im also after someone to blast my vy ss rims so i can paint them. anyone know anyone?

im about to call a few places in the south east today, will let you know how i go

Tas, a few guys i have heard about have had shells soda blasted and while it is supposed to be better than normal blasting, they have had problems with the soda showing up through the paint later on

I've had my BT1 Done, call Dom 'ProStrip Soda Blasting' on [phone removed]

Cheers for that info Kane, ive called a few companys today, and from what i gather the rough price is between $300-$400 and they are all mobile on site services. So thats ok, only thing is they dont etch prime it which is fine because my mates a painter and can put it in etch primer the same day. Its hard to decide weather to sand blast it bead blast it soda blast it. Ive heard positive and negatives from all 3. Im keen on this one company so i'll have a chat to them about the pro's and con's. Oh and for those that are looking for someone i have a list of names and numbers im more than happy to pass on.

Well not going with that bloke anymore, failed to mention a few "minor" details pfft. Decided im towing it to a shop works out to be cheaper anyway.

Anyone know what better to get my alloys blasted with? Soda, sand or bead? George

Soda is exceptionally good, but you must use a mild acid (vinegar) to clean the panel before you etch prime it. If you Soda and etch prime without the vinegar cleaning (the guy might not do this step?) then you will have sealed some of the soda in the primer and it will not look as good. Soda blasting was all the rage at Sema 09. Many companies offering good deals for their machines and so forth. The best thing about soda blasting compared to sand and other media blasting is that it cannot heat up the panel to warp it, and it does not work harden the steel (ie like shot peening) as the grains are very very fine.
