for blasting whatever you do dont use the place at the penrose end of Neilson St Onehunga. I got some done there & they came back with a rasp like finish, looks like theyd used steel shot & 1000 psi

get them media blasted, not sandblasted. as mentioned earier, the blasting is very harsh on the surface. made that mistake in the past myself. media blasting leaves a nice smooth surface that requires very little prep for painting.

Depends on the Sandblaster. The guy I use in West Akld does a great job on my car panels and bicycle frames. Media blasting is so much dearer ??

depends on how you look at it. media was $20 more than grit but you dont spend 4 hours sanding off the harsh surface prepping for the next stage. $20 well spent if you ask me.

I have used Papakura abrasive blasters for many old rims. I will have to ask which galvanisers are used, as we have used paint on the rims.
