the guy in the shop on the other side of the building from mine does sandblasting, I will ask him. On the south side of Stuart, a couple blocks north of the Harley dealership, just off US-1.

Miguel, I'm at Sunset Bay. Lunch? [email protected]
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I will be following up on the hot rod shop thing. I have some other parts that need plating and a hot rod shop would also be a good place to start. Also, I have no room or facilities here for blasting my own parts plus it would pain me to duplicate what we have at the shop in Minnesota.

You can try finding a company that sells and manufactures grave markers/head stones, etc. They use sandblasting to carve the letters into the stone. I have used these type of business before to sandblast stuff for me before my son got his very large and nice blast cabinet. Too bad you aren't local to us, as Eric can blast items as large as a subframe in his.

Not worth the hassle for a couple of small parts.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

you know what there are some sand blaster for sale in craigslist as low as $50. and slightly used, you can just get one and do the blasting urself, if you're done you can sell them . just a thought..
im planning to get one too.
And don't forget the air compressor, hose and water trap while you are at it.

Perhaps you can search out local hot rodders / hot rod shops for a referral to someone that has one in their garage? Find a cruise in a start asking around. Also, perhaps check with the nearest local British car club.

I'm living in Stuart, FL for most of the winter and am looking for a place to get a couple of parts sandblasted. Most of the shops I found really don't want to do jobs that take only 5 or 10 minutes. Minimums and that sort of thing also. Anybody got an idea?
