Glass beading

I have a new position at work in the building maintenance department, and one of the things we maintain are glass beading cabinets. One has been very well maintained and has been known to be used by motorheads and hobbyists. So, if anyone has a need for glass beading, within reason, hit me up. I can do things like intake manifolds, valve covers, brackets, etc. Has to be things I can easily transport into the building and fit into the cabinet. I just did the wiper arms for my Spirit R/T and they came out great. I wanted to get them powder coated but they have plastic ends. Oh well, it's rattle can time!

Unfortunately many materials (like most plastic) cannot be powdercoated to to the high heat of the oven used will deform or even melt the underlying base material. Glass yes, metal yes, fiberglass maybe... Many materials outgas at oven temps and aren't suitable either - wood as an example.

The most common way of PCing is to electrically charge the item, but you can also suspend the powder in a liquid and spray it on that way, so anything that will take the heat can theoretically be coated including wood, glass, fiberglass etc.
