Apparently Kevin has bought the business from John, and Kevin doesn't know what John did to Delica bull bars.
Must be a recent change; Kevin seemed hesitant to take on the job. Like, "Thanks, bye, good luck shopping elsewhere!" He didn't mention the larger booth, even when I called back the second time.
A friend referred me today to a place in Richmond called Air Strip. Gonna call them tomorrow; it's a lot closer than Langley for me.
Bull Bar paint job prep.

Re: Bull Bar paint job prep.
Delica bullbars are not magical. A steel bullbar is a steel bullbar.
It's just a piece of metal and they will blast it at ublast.
Maybe your calling the wrong place because I called this afternoon and it's between 1-2 hrs to blast the bumper and wings. doing it yourself is easy and yes it fits although I never go into what vehicle its from because Delica owners (at least most) come to the realization that most people don't know or care what a Delica is - hence the abrasion from shops at times.

After a non-stressful day at work and an exhausting explosive evening, I enjoy sitting back on my couch and watching classics. If the mood strikes me, Skyrim is my current flavor.

Re: Bull Bar paint job prep.
I had my bull bars sand blasted by Jerry at O.A. Airstrip, and powder coated by Terry at Dynopro, both in Richmond. Jerry and Terry refer work back and forth all the time, and they transferred the bars from one shop to the other, so all I had to do was drop them off and pick them up. Both gave me reasonable prices, and the job was done inside of a week.
Jerry's booth is large enough to sand blast an entire car, which he does. Most of his business is vintage cars being restored. He said my '94 L300 was the newest vehicle he'd ever worked on.
Terry's used to doing larger jobs (1000 ft of railing for the City of Richmond) but he fills his oven as much as possible, so will add as many small jobs as is convenient. He does black twice a week, so if that's your preference, you're in luck.
