Bret sandblasted and painted my Chevy truck frame looks great even got in places I didn’t think they could get actually getting ready to take my mom and dad‘s truck in to have him do it

On 5/25/2021 david collogan had this to say:
Bret blasted and painted a steel Korean War era military Jeep trailer for me- I will be pulling it with my Jeep for camping gear & off-roading. He did a frame off restoration and the results are fabulous. The paint matches my tow vehicle and the quality of the paint is top notch. Highly recommended, and very reasonable rates. I will be back for all my sandblasting needs. ??????
