Just about to strip apart my subframe so I can get them blasted. Anyone know of a good blaster in the brisbane to sunny coast area?

Cheers in advance
Matt

I know there's a guy in Kippa-Ring / Clontaff, in the industrial estate on Macdonnell Road. I think they are called Odra Grit Blasting.
I haven't had any stuff there myself, only know from the guy across the road from me had his torana sand blasted there!

Cheers Shane

+1 for Odra Blasting.

He mainly does classic car blasting and is very reasonably priced.

Doing some investigations for my 68 mini matic resto - check out the thread :)

1- Blast Away at Caboolture use a combination of soda and sand to get the complete shell done Steve was a very nice guy to talk to and came in at a very reasonable price in fact it was one of the lowest and he sounded very confident in his quality of work. (700 exterior only no primer) extra for inside Engine bay and boot
2- Brian on Cameron Street Clontarf good bloke offered and a good conversation about how he would do it using his water and glass mix. price (800 exterior only no primer ) 150 for primer, extra for engine bay and inside boot
3- odra blasting Clontarf talk to an older guy here and he had a chat about how difficult minis were... His price was 1600 inside and out primed.

Checking out some other guys down near Murrarie tomorrow.

..... so no one in that area does cars...

Another phone quote from Graham at Northside Blastcoat was inside and out all panels $900
150 for etch primer.
