Good Place for bead-blasting/steel peening/etc. CHEAP

[Teletiger7]

Hi guys! Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Found a good place to do some bead blasting on my stainless handgun. It looks totally new now. No more scratches and holster wear. Also, all for $45 they blasted frame/slide and all small parts that I wanted done. They will do a whole handgun/rifle for the same price. Also, did I mention it took all of 1 minute and they gave it back to me right there on the spot! NO WAITING! They are always doing large jobs for aircraft companies/aerospace so it's nothing for them to quickly run a handgun or rifle in their machine. The guys there even showed me some examples of finished parts that was peened or blasted in their equipment so i could decide what finish I wanted. anyways, the place is called Peen-rite and it's just north of Burbank, off the 5 Freeway.

Jeez, $45 to bead blast a handgun? Yeah, it'll take, like you said, about a minute. I let all my friends bead blast their stuff in the shop whenever they want for free. Let's see, jet pumps, wheels, intake manifolds... Honestly tho, $45 doesn't sound like that much of a steal, it's easier than spray-painting.

I need a big batch of some stuff bead-blasted at work, maybe 200-300 lbs of small parts, screws and stuff. We could do it ourselves, but it'd take some time. Anybody know a shop in the East Bay Area that does batches of bead-blasting?
