I have some wheels that I want to have sand blasted. I considered getting one of those home jobs , but that may not be worth the effort if I can get it done locally and reasonable. Anyone have a name and what they usually cost?

I have one you can use. Rims are easy, just dirty work.

I get playsand at Home Depot and then screen the rocks out. Its not really the PSI but the tank volume you need. It works well at 75 psi but if you dont have the volume it will take longer for the comp. to catch back up.
