I don't know of anyone in topeka that does any sandblasting, but i bet a quick good search will solve that.
On a side note, I wish I had the equipment to sandblast and powder coat. I have read up on the PC and it doesn't look to hard to do, just have to have a big enough oven. haha. Good luck though.

I have a large industrial sized sandblast cabinet. How big of an item are you looking to sandblast/ what is it?

Hmmmmmm, I've been searching for my options to get 2 trikes powdercoated in the next month. I know where I can/did get some powdercoating done in town, but they don't prep the material, and I'm unsure who/where I can get frames and parts blasted.
If this is something you can handle, I'd like to visit and see what you'd charge!

You may rethink that. I have been reading about refinishing exhausts alot, They say the paint can't handle the temps of the head pipe even when advertised. I have seen alot of talk lately about anti seize header coating. google it and check it out, Here are some links. www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187500

I can't remember what it's called, but knew someone that had theirs coated, but pretty sure it wasn't powdercoated......................I'll do some research.

It was okay. The guy had an exhaust pipe (2-stroke) that he wanted to look like chrome. It was more like the powdercoat chrome color, if you've ever seen it. It was more of a silver than what you would call chrome.

Just Give me a call or txt, I am in manhattan most of the month but I will be in Topeka most of this weekend and off and on throughout the month. A headpipe won't take me more than a half hour but a trike frame will fit but I'm guessing several hours. I don't really know what to charge but I'm sure we can work somethin out, I'm not out to make a bunch of money. You can get ahold of me at 785220twofoureightzero, always leave a message cause I never call back if I don't recognize the number.
