There's not really a section for this..... Shot blasting.......
Disco-Ron:
Anyone got any idea what sort of price i might pay to have a discovery chassis blasted and etch primed or something,.... just til i can get more paint on it...???
spinkster:
if the chassis is off the vehicle (or the vehicle is off the the chassis) it would cost you a drink at your local industrial blasters/painters.......if you ask the boys nicely, however if the vihicle is still sat on the chassis i would reccommend against blasting it........even with fine grit the power is amazing and you've got all sorts of succeptible stuff under there that doesnt really want grit blasted anywhere near it (wiring, breathers, brakes etc etc) you'dbe much better off getting a wire brush attatchment for a 4" grinder and spending half a day underneath doing it yourself.

Ron, only just seen this. If the chassis is off a vehicle then I know a man that might be able to 'piggy-back' it onto another job.....he won't do any of the priming tho.
PM me if interested and I'll see what I can do. He's not far from me.

as you can't blast the inside of the chassis rails i'm pretty sure that galvanising it is pretty much out of the question......
