XxlongshotxX Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you bead blast use a plastic bead. Wont change the profile of the aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Bead blasting will not harm them.. But i do not suggest it as it will make them harder to clean in the future.. Why not have them powdercoated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 But just for getting them clean, purple power does great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullThrottle_06' Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I sent my new cases off to BigRed350x (Jared) and he did a awesome job with them. He kept in touch with me every step of the way and even took some pics before he packed them up and sent them back. Only took about a week from the time I sent them to him to when I recieved them. Great guy to do business with. May wanna give him a shout he will hook you up. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 If u want them powdered. Let me know. I am in tight with a guy that powdercoats. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 wet bead blast ftw ! just clean it heaps !!!! after. making sure you get any abrasives out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticktock Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 But just for getting them clean, purple power does great one of the main ingredients to Purple Power of Muratic acid. Good luck with that one. Go to home depot. Spend 10 dollars on Air Condition Coil Cleaner. It is specifically made to clean aluminum parts. It will do a pretty decent job and not harm the cases as purple power will. Sure you can dilute the Purple and shit, but it is still going to etch aluminum.
