Title: Any one tried Gem Blasters
Post by: getgeoff on July 29, 2010, 10:12:00 PM

Has anyone tried Gem Blasters in Chilliwack for media blasting thier car and also having them apply a etching primer after the blasting. I wonder if they do a good job as they say for a vw bug?

I've used B & W Metal cleaning in Coquitlam. In behind KMS. Theres a powder coating guy upstairs there too.

My recommendation is B&W in Coquitlam near KMS Tools.  They did Gavin's split among other VWs over the years.

I sent a quote to Redi Strip for the bug shell,doors,hood and deck lid and they came back with 1500.00  :o

I'll send a quote to B and M metal cleaners and see what they say.

Redi said about $1200 for my Datsun Roadster also.
