it will be a couple weeks before I do it. I've decided to purchase a blast cabinet in order to do the best job and achieve the finest finish. There are literally thousands of colors available, including an almost chrome finish. Eventually, I want to do wheels!

If you are getting it from Harbor Freight, get the one with the floor stand, not the countertop one.
I made that mistake, it's too small.

Thanks, that is the one I planned to get. I looked at one from JEGS on Amazon but their price just went up from 179 to 199, so I looked at Harbor Freight at 179 plus a 20% coupon.. Luckily I live just 5 miles from HF Thanks again for the info

Also get the black media, not the glass beads. The glass beads from HF is really just ground glass.

i will leave any decals like Brembo or AMG up to the customer, I ordered some from Amazon on May 3rd still haven't seen them, scheduled for the 10th.? one thing I may have to do is enlarge the cabinet to accommodate wheels. I already picked out the color for my wheels,, Lollypop Blue from Prismatic colors. I have lots of ideas spilling from my creative mind, at least I think that's ideas.

Unfortunately my latest stroke has left me highly handicapped and unable to walk more than a few feet and unable to do anything in my shop. I am sorry, never even got my blast cabinet out of the box. I don't know if I can recover enough to do much more than dream about things i'd like to do.
