Walnut Blasting in the GTA

Obrizny · 05-02-2019, 11:47 AM

Hey guys, anyone here had previous experience with Paradigm Performance Auto for walnut blasting service.

Looking around to get mine done, any recommendations

code85 · 05-02-2019, 06:09 PM

Had mine done there a few years ago. no complaints but Leslie doesn't work there anymore. A guy named Kevin took over, I haven't done a walnut blast with him yet so I can't chime in on his work.

Last I talked to Kevin he asked me advice on pricing for blasting. Maybe if we can get a group deal going. I'm due for one as well.

Wolf 335 · 05-02-2019, 11:01 PM

Sign me up for a group deal.

A group deal would be great, im guessing we already have 3 on-board

Sorry I'm going to do it locally for 400$. GTA is to far for it being worth it for me.

I would be interested in a group deal. I've been looking to walnut blast for awhile now with the cost and where is the best place that will do a good job and look after my car.

Hey guys, so he's agreed to $345 each as a group of 6. Let me know your thoughts,valve cover gasket is priced separate if you need that replaced.

neilvan · 05-06-2019, 09:59 AM

Damn where was this 2 months ago! Just did ours but I would have been in.

Their regular price was $325 just at the end of last year. Doesn't seem like he's cutting us a good deal considering the amount of people, and I'm sure we could get 10 guys on board.

HiRev335i · 05-07-2019, 04:25 PM

You can count me in for 2 vehicles both 335's. What's the price if we get 10?

Should you have valve cover gasket replaced same time when doing a walnut blast? or is it more of good preventative maintenance?

Asclepius · 05-10-2019, 10:08 AM

I’m interested if we can get a better group rate

Phoenixg · 05-10-2019, 12:13 PM

Also due for carbon cleaning and am interested if we can get a better rate.
