    Where in San Diego can I have brake calipers bead blasted?

    Hi All,

    A friend of mine is rebuilding all of his brake calipers himself. He wants to get the calipers bead (or walnut shell, media, etc.) blasted. Anywhere in San Diego he can go to get this done?

    Thanks

    Did your friend have the roters resurfaced? If so where and was the work acceptable. I ended up send my calipers to Erick in Utah - pricey but he is reported to be good.

    I'm no expert but would imagine any 9 year old kid with a Harbor Freight blaster could do a great job if you just made sure all the holes were covered before he started. It ain't rocket science. How about a look at the yellow pages?
