Title: Bead blasting.....
Post by: mrgaf on October 17, 2017, 06:49:33 PM

Hey, anyone know where I can bead blast a Wilson bushing multi compensator? My Kimber classic target Stainless LE is a matte finish and the comp is polished on the flats. Know I can never match them up perfectly but should be able to get it real close.  Appreciate any advice or help.... :shaka:

Did you try scotch brite or steel wool

Yup.... it helps but still does not come close to the bead blasted finish on the slide. Steel wool tends to shine up the surface somewhat.....

Try Mr Sandman in mapunapuna, they carry the blasting media and equipment so they might be-able to blast the slide for you

I have all the equipment, new blast cabinet, media, compressor, etc............. but you'll need to set it all up...may take a whole day to set up.
