A little background ... my tins are not rusty, but the PO repainted them and they look a bit DIY. Thus, I'd like to get them powder coated before reinstalling the rebuilt motor (while I have them out).
Is sandblasting the best way to prep tin for power coating? Are there other methods that are just as effective that I could do myself to avoid the cost of having them sandblasted? I did some searching and it looks like others used solvent and then soap and water? |

Now I'm stuck on this. Last, don't powder coat, just clean up, little sanding and spray with Eastwood Chassis Paint. Very hard, resists chemicals.
