i want to get my wheels powdercoated, but before that can happen they need to be sandblasted down to the metal. they have a wierd chrome plating on them that needs to come off because its been flaking off and doesnt react so well to heat. anyone know someone who can sandblast 4 wheels for relitively cheep? ---

if its really chrome plated, good luck with a sandblaster, that will take a REAL long time, and the aluminum will be ruined in the process. Chrome is some tuff stuff. ---
