So clean, very nice. Is glass beading similar to sandblasting?

I REALLY need to get my Millenia IM done soon. That looks great, bro. Hope you don't mind my asking: where & how much? I gotta get mine done before I swap it to my ZE. Also, I want to powdercoat my valve covers. It's cheaper per piece if you get alot done at once, so is there anything else I should get done at the same time?
Thanks

Well, I called my co-worker who has his own shop and asked if he had a sand blaster, and he said yes. I told him what I wanted to do and he said to bring it to work. He did it at work that day. Since I've fixed his PC a few times and he did it for free. Being that my valve covers werent as pretty, hes doing those. Funny thing is I told another co-worker about what hes doing, and he said "Why didnt u ask me? I have one at home." So, I brought him my throttle body today.

It pays to help people :)
