Walnut blasting in Birmingham, AL available

wren57 · 07-02-2016, 11:23 PM

I have the equipment from doing mine, am willing to do some local members' cars. I'm thinking $400 should cover my time and the shells. Will be done in my large air-conditioned garage. You can either drop off or stay and hang.

Search for "Alabama BMW Group" on Facebook. That is where many of us locals congregate. I know of several guys in there that have searched for walnut blasting in Birmingham that may be interested in your offer.

Thanks for the idea, just posted it on there. Would love to help out some folks, know it's an intimidating job for many, and getting the equipment needed is expensive.

I'm getting close to 60K in my 08' 335i and would love to have this done, but right now I need both time and money. How long do you think it takes you to do this? I would be driving down from Huntsville, so I would probably stay.

I can't do it for another two weeks due to a minor operation, but after that I have a very erratic schedule - travel a lot for work. So when it gets closer to time let me know and we'll work something out.

Also, check out Flyin' Wrench in Kennesaw GA. They're a bit further from you but can probably get it done an hour or so faster than I can. I know they ran a special to do the job for $275 a while back.

Not trying to run you off, I'm happy to do it, just letting you know what else is out there. I'm not doing this to make money, just want to help folks out.

I live in Homewood and need this done. Are you still able to help folks out with the walnut blasting?

I'll be able to do it in early 2017 - had surgery Monday and need to rehab a bit.

Bump. You still doing this?

Any shop recommendations for getting this done in Birmingham?

I've moved to Illinois. I recommend going to Flyin Wrench in Kennesaw GA.
