Glass Beading Shop

[dman2112 6]

Hello,

I am is search of a shop that can glass bead 1911 parts based on my specifications.  I can do it myself but I currently dont have access to the equipment and I dont want to build a setup from scratch.  I see there are a few blasting outfits in the Dover /  Rockaway area.  ANyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance

Ask any of the places in NJ that do firearm finishing? Media blasting is usually part of the prep.

Thats not what I need.  I called them and they only do sand blasting because they are all duracoat shops.  As I mentioned I need GLASS beading a stainless frame to a satin finish.  No top coat will be applied.  I am DLC coating the slide, but that I can ship without hassle.  I want to keep the frame local.  I doubt anyone in NJ had that in the firarms space but maybe in the classic car space?  I just need someone to glass bead a frame

I figured that's what you were trying to do. 

Maybe ask the modern materiel guys. They started off as FFLs doing firearm finishes as a side project from automotive coatings. The shop was in Keyport though, not up north. If they can't hook you up directly, they probably know what your options are.
