Default parts wheel media blasting painting?

I'm in the process of making a large media blasting cabinet and a panel sized paint booth for cleaning my donor parts and supplying all my suspension products ready for paint or powder coat. Would any body be interested in a service that would strip donor parts, clean and paint parts,wheel rims and body parts?

I would, depending how much it was to get the bits there. Much easier than sitting in the garden with a wire brush and a can of hammerite

Just as a guide to postage costs I use www.interparcel.com a set of four rims with out tyres works out at £14 via Citylink.

On the subject of cleaning up odds and ends has anyone used one of these sand blaster things that goes on a normal pressure washer.

I did an axle case and was impressed. You have to keep the sand away from any moisture so i decanted the sand into an old 20ltr oil drum. A mate used one for all his stuff , he used the kids blow up swimming pool to retain all the sand and crap which stopped him getting his ears chewed off. That kiln dried sand is cheap too, http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/220201. You do need to be ready to paint straight away though as you can stand there and watch the clean metal start to oxidise .
