Get down to Spray Blast Fabrications in Wycombe... They'll do it for a few pennies. Every time I have had powder coating done by them the blasting has been free as it doesn't take much time at all...

when i had my old old 17's refurbed by them, they were pretty expensive and seemed like cunts.
i took a sump to them to have a crack patched up and they reckoned it would be £40

suppose a quick blast with sand is a pretty simple job. might see how much they reckon.

Oh, they've always been alright with me... They might just drop them in some acid as they think that everything that goes in there is powdercoated (even if it is painted).

Let me know where you get them done if it's cheap though. I want to sell my 1.2 on for profit so I'm going to re-furb the wheels nicely so they need a blast before I paint them up...

got hold of them this arvo.
£30 a wheel to blast and re-coat didn't sound too bad, but £15 a wheel just to sand blast them seemed a bit wrong.

think i'll be getting busy with the nitromors.
