I've searched the forum and found nothing on who recommends a shop for sandblasting. I need to sandblast my valve cover and powder coat it. Does anyone know of any good shops in Calgary?
Thanx

Thanx. I decided to go to Canadian Tires and bought a can of Automotive Paint remover by U-Fix it. It takes time, but its a whole lot cheaper.

Do it right is my advice, but its your choice.
