Sand or media blasting
Tried searching the site and found nothing. inter web shows a few but always like first hand knowledge of businesses. Anyone know who does small stuff like my front bumper?

You can buy media at granger. I've also found it at harbor frieght. I'm not sure what the requirements to run it are. I would say run it till you run out of air pressure then let it catch up. If you want to use it at my place we can stretch the air hose out the south end of the shop.
You can follow me.... but it's gonna hurt

Sand use without a good respirator can cause silicosis, so beware.

thanks, will keep that in mind for next time. i ended up wire wheeling and flap discing with satisfactory results.
