Revamp my wood chipper

[jonnyboy]

Hi all,

 

I'm thinking of smartening up my wood chipper as the chassis is rusty, the panels looking tatty and all round a bit shabby but a good reliable machine. What do you reckon is the best was to carry this out?

Shot blasting? and would I be looking at powder coating or a respray? Any idea of cost?

 

Anyone out there done theirs?

Sand him down prep and spray 4 me . Before and after pics please.

We do this all the time, shotblast, respray with new decals is approx £1000 for 9" size chipper. Can send some examples if you wish.

Thought Id posted this but seems I didnt press the "Post reply" buton doh-

 

thought I'd post my effort - decided to spruce up our old entec when we had two machines running.

took it apart, wire wheel, sand paper. a bit of welding needed here and there.

repainted the chassis and built back up.

Did it over a couple of weeks with evenings and weekends.

 

rollered the new paint on (surprisingly good finnish).

a good quality undercoat then timberwolf orange paint - code recieved from tw.

 

unfortunately, shortly after this I decided to just run the one machine and sold it on.

 

after followed by the only before I can find

Treegeek, if you contact a local vinyl signmaker im sure they can sort you out with some decals alot cheaper then vermeer, think they scan the image of the internet then cut them out of the right colour vinyl. Hope this helps!
