Thread: Sand blasting , thermal stripping,p' coat

If the bullbar has been powder coated before you will need to get a shotblaster to remove it using steel shot (this is usually only done by powder coaters).

Pete,
If you can find a powder coaters who do their own abrasive blasting (a lot of them do), there's less likelyhood of contamination between the blasting and powder coating processes. Also, request that they 'zinc' before the powder colour coat. Zinc coating is a normal practise to give better adhesion and rust resistance, but not all of them will do it without asking for it. Just tell them you want your items blasted, zinc'ed and powder coated.

It's also less hassle for you if you only have to drop your stuff into the one place and pick them up finished.
