Thanks Steve - Just gave ABINETT's a call, they're concentrating on the powder coating side of the business at present, and suggested Universal's as Daniel had already done

Thanks Dragbug - I'll give him a call
Matt - will do, so far been quoted between $250-$400, but that's just over the phone without viewing the frame. FYI that attached photo's what I'm looking to get blasted.

Yeah - I also want to see what holes may be lurking under the combination of sh*t, 2-pack, powder, and brushed enamel that it's currently wearing - although I hoping that it's all fairly solid good metaaaal

Kimbo,
thats a pretty good price for blast only, we would charge about $300 for blast only and probably another $350-$400 to prime and topcoat

.. and one more for luck - the resizing and reduction in picture resolution has made the after shots appear a bit crappy, but it is much better in reality
