You could clean them up yourself dude. If it'll be used and abused and not cleaned often then why spend good money on blasting them. Power drill + wire brush attachment and let the sparks fly and watch the sh*t come off. That's how I did mine (dunno if you saw my project thread).
Bit of paint for a few £ and job jobbed.
I did see it mate - Just thought blasting would be more efficient and that way nothing would be missed...I might give the wire brush/drill thing a go though :)
I won't lie, it wasn't like a 3 min job. Took about 30mins with the drill to remove all the stuff off it but I got it back to metal without much fuss.
Yeah it's a lot faster with a blasting but I couldn't justify me spending money for something that I could do. That or get the grinder out lol
Theres a wire brush thing where the Nova is kept so I probably will do that then I'll crack out the Hammerite
Not going to all the hassle of spraying the beam etc or getting them powdercoated
If you're not going for all the hassle of powder coating mate there's no need to go to the hassle of blasting (in my opinion). Wire brush, whack the rust off, bit of paint, bang it on.
I think that'll be the plan mate - Might as well when I have the resources there and all bolts and nuts can be easily cleaned up as well and re-used
:thumb:
Cleaning the nuts and bolts was the hardest job for me.
Just boring jobs like that I hate lol I don't mind the painting but don't particularly like the footery jobs lol
Boring but rather satisfying once finished. And you'd have saved yourself a few bob too.
Aye that's right mate - I'll need to get into the groove lol
1st time for me this 'Project' stuff
