Anyone know of a place in the San Fernando Valley or San Gabriel Valley area of CA where I could find someone to sandblast the front grill of my G. I'm looking to paint it black and figured it might be easier to sandblast than hand sand. I looked in the yellow pgs, but no luck.

 

That's what i did with mine. i got access to a huge machine ( 4 feet wide ) too bad you're not close by.

 

try a place that does wrought Iron, they usually have a sandblaster or know who or where. BTW, aren't the grill bars plastic?

 

Any iron shop or automotive shop should have it. Or any fabrication shop should have the machine too. Or you can come over to WA............I got one.

 

thats what I would have done but I couldnt find out that my grill would fit in

 

My buddy with his caddy sprayed Easy Off oven cleaner on his grill, he said it removed the chrome off, but he painted his gold

 

hey mixturepinoy,

was it a plastic grill your buddy used Easy Off oven cleaner on or was it metal? I wouldn't want it to eat the plastic away.

 

it was plastic' i'll ask him how long he left it on there, I remember him saying this is an old trick hobbyst do to remove chrome paint off of plastic

 

To get all the coating off take some times. It like plastic then copper then chrome, so it thick! I removed everything so the only thing left is the plastic then sprayed it with some paint ahensive stuff then black paint. So far no chips or nothing. I do a lot of long distance driving at high speed ( san jose to san diego)

 

That would be awesome, thanks alot.
