A couple of weeks ago, I posted a thread about sand blasting, admitted then that I knew very little about the subject. The vendor did such an excellent job, I thought I'd share my experience.
Took one of my goosenecks to (near) Nashville, TN to have it blasted and painted.* *Thanks to a friend who spotted a Face Book ad for a Christmas special on media blasting.* *So, I took advantage of the deal.* *It was a very good price, I know this because, I have been trying to get this trailer blasted, primered and repainted for a couple of years but, it was always beyond my available $$$.* Another issue was I could never get a vendor to agree to blast and paint the bottom of the trailer.* *It's an all metal trailer so, that had to be accomplished.
Three colors were available with the "special", none was what I would have picked but, since that was all that was being offered, I selected the Almond color, kind of an Off White.* *Picked it over the Red or Black because, whether it's clean or dirty, it's still gonna look the same.* Off White.
Went back yesterday and retrieved the gooseneck.* *The entire trailer was blasted with steel shot peen, blown off of dust and then primer applied, used a two part epoxy primer then came back with a two part epoxy paint.* *The trailer looks amazing, can't tell you how impressed I am with the end result, especially considering the price.* *The Christmas Special was about 1/3rd of any of the other quotes I received and not one of them would include the belly of the monster. Master Blasters of TN did the entire trailer to include the belly of the monster.

About 40 miles north of Nashville, TN.* I don't easily pass out praise but,*I highly recommend them.* *They don't just do trailers, I saw pictures of some hot rods and quite a few other projects they have done.* *
I can't post pics here but, if anyone wants to see the before, during and after pics, just email me and I'll be happy to share them with you.* I still have to reapply the DOT reflective tape and intend to install more LED lights but, she's beautiful.
