Media Blasting in the Des Moines Area?

Does anyone know a good place in or around Des Moines, IA? I have a set of aluminum wheels I want to refinish. I've been looking for a while but it seems most places do mainly large scale blasting. Thanks for any help.

Wow over here in Davenport all they want to do is small stuff if anything all. I'll call my Des Moines guy and find you a place.

Jarnegans is who he told me. He is going to find out from his car club about another place that does old car parts more specifically.

Thanks so much Vertigo.

I found Jarnagin Wes Painting in the yellow pages. Is this the place you're talking about? Do they just do sand blasting, or can they do other types of media blasting?

Let me know if you find out the name of the other place.

Heheh. I've actually tried calling these guys a few times, and I have yet to get them to answer the phone. I didn't want to take the chance of hauling my wheels up there just to find out they couldn't do it.

Well he (Mike Mickenny) also works for his dad working no his semi trucks and trailers when he is not blasting. All I can say is keep trying.
