    how much does bead blasting cost?

    I might want to get my F4 body beadblasted to get that dust look. How much does something like that cost?

      you cant just beadblast the body to get that look- - - the blasting process will remove some of the anno layer. If you want to get it blasted, it generally means that you are getting the peice re-anoed. Check the link in my signature for ideas on cost.

        err, sorry to sound like a super-n00b here, but... what exactly is "beadblasting"??? is it like powdercoating? because I know what that is, as well as annodizing... man I'm feeling very confused right now

          beadblasting is just like sandblasting, except you use tiny glass "beads" instead of sand. then the piece gets annoed for a dust finish. no paint or powder coating.
