Anyone know a good/cheap sandblasting place in Perth?

Need to get the paint stripped off a bullbar and some other bits... Someone with a caustic bath would also be OK.

Sandblasting can alter the strength of items sandlasted, a friend of mine had a set of steel fork heads sand blasted and they shattered when he tightened the top clamps. The beads of sand or blasting material "work" the surface of metal and MAY change it's strength, consult the sandblaster he should know, Regards Frank.

Thanks Andy!!!

Tank - thanks for that, I am aware of the issues. The parts will then be galvanised, which will likely negate any issues of sandblasting, and may cause issues of its own... These are not critical components, or high grade steel.
