ManxMan Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I have a cast iron tub that needs to be refinished (sandblasted and powder coated). Any suggestions on how to find this service or what to ask for? This is well beyond my Spanish capabilities. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Solar Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Talk to Beto @ the ironworks shop in Ajijic. Good quality, experienced, bilingual - he'll understand and be able to advise you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use google translate like I did for the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvinton Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 How did this work out? I have some metal items that I'd like to powder coat. Where's the Ironworks Shop in Ajijic? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Why expect to find everything you need in Ajijic. Chapala is the "downtown" area and also the local source of more types of businesses than those offered in Ajijic. Beyond that, you may have to search in Guadalajara for some things. Besides, you will often pay up to 0% more for some things in Ajijic. Guess why! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect to find everything locally and agree that services rendered in Ajijic usually cost more than elsewhere. Even though we've lived here for 10 months we have a lot to learn just what's available in the village. This thread is just a starting point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfglass Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I believe Cadillac Furniture in Ajijic can get that done for you. The owner there is Omar.

Ferret Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I've been communicating with Beto via whatsapp for years. Also had a chat with him this morning via whatsapp to check out your INCORRECT information. He does a lot of business using whatsapp so I would like to take this opportunity to let his current and future customers know that it is his preferred method of communication. Why it doesn't work for you, dvinton, is beyond me. p.s. the numbers in your last post are missing a digit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 dvinton, you would only need a 52 in front of the number if your phone card is from outside the country. And no Whatsapp number will appear unless: they call you first, or you have the number registered as a Contact on your phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvinton Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Ferret, AndyPanda, Thanks for the replies. Despite cut and paste (to avoid a miskey) I obviously entered the wrong number in WhatsApp. Beto has contacted me via WhatsApp... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
