Shot blasting and powder coating A-Bar and Ladder
Stopped by a recommended place this morning about getting the A Bar and ladder spruced up. He was reticent if it had a plasticote on, which both do but is peeling off in places. I hoped shot blasting would remove ready for powder coating. What's the best way to remove the standard plasticote....gas lamp?

Cheers.

Thanks K9F,

I stopped in a place in N Blandford. Recommended by a Metalsmith and a friend seperately.

Will look at Ferndown though as not a million miles away.

May I ask which was the place in Blandford (asking as someone who works in Blandford, so it might be useful to know)?

I didn't get the name but it is on Holland Way next to The House of Sarunds.

Nice enough inside, I just need to investigate getting the original coating off first. 2002 110 CSW TD5, Zambezi Silver

Any good paint specialist should be able to strip it on your behalf using a number of different methods available to them. Ask around. Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Plasticite gets the nostrils in the air alot for me. I have a blaster at the bottoms of my hill who I have used twice for blasting plasticote. He doubled the price the second time as he hated every minute of removing it. I got bored of him moaning and said "alright mate ill take the work else where " he suddenly stopped griping and told me to collect the next day.

You will find someone to do it for you but it may be pricey, I fot tired of people saying "plasticite... Ooooh... Just bin it and buy new , probably cheaper that way"

My little story hasn't helped but thought id let you know you're not alone in your struggle

If looking for shot blasting find someone who uses cheery stones rather that grit or sand, the difference between the materials is something to behold. I have has various items shot blasted and cheery stone is the best. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
