Does anyone know of anywhere local I can get some abrasive blasting media? I’m looking to strip some factory paint off a set of calipers prior to powdercoating. Eastwood’s aluminum oxide seems to be what I’m looking for, but I’m afraid of the shipping charges on a 50 lb. bag of the stuff. The only stuff that I’ve found around here is Black Beauty but that’s too coarse for my needs. If anyone knows of a local supplier that’d be great. BTW, no cabinet so expensive stuff like glass would be a big waste of $$
