Yes. Everything that comes through my shop gets blasted by me regardless of whether the customer has already done it or not. It's the only way I can stand behind the job because I know there is no oil residue or contaminates on the surface and I know the texture "tooth" that my blasting leaves is best for a slick job.

You want to save some money on powdercoat work, spend some time degreasing the parts first. That's where you'll get better prices.
