Sand /bead blasting help

[Mad Anthony Wayne]

I have a beretta 84 frame that is an aluminum alloy that I have stripped down and I am trying to remove the painted finish and polish before sending it in to be refinished at robar. It will get a combination of electroless nickel and NP3 on the internals. I am having hell getting the paint off. I need it blasted. Anyone here in the Indy area who can do it for me? PM me if you can help or know of someone who can do it cheap. Thank you INGO.

Hit up AllenM. He has a sand blaster and bead blaster.

Thanks. I had an INGO member volunteer to help me. INGO is good!

You might want to check out having it soda blasted instead. It's milder than bead or sandblasting and leaves a good finish for topcoating (bluing or plating) and won't leave any abrasive dust or particles in small crevices.

Thanks Indyblue. It turned out nice and I spent some time cleaning it up. Finish ended up very smooth. I will be shipping to Robar this week to get her nickeled.
