sand blasting wheels

I'm going to get my FZJ80 wheels sandblasted before i powder coat them, but they are really dirty with oil, dirt and brake dust, will the sand blasting clean all this up, or will i have to do some of the cleaning myself before i get it sand blasted.

Im fairly sure it'll take all that crap off. Blasting pretty much takes off whatevers coated on the metal (rust/clearcoat/brake dust)...until you hit the metal.

btw, what colour you gonna coat em? Im thinkin i might get my FZJ80 wheels refinished...but not sure on painting em. the bevelled lip between the spokes maybe...

post up some pics when theyre done!

peace
