I know everyone doesn't have someone nearby who can do this so you don't have to but if you do, think about it. I am all for doing stuff myself, but damn sand blasting is pretty rough on you and your yard and compressor, everything. I have a few near me that kick butt and very skilled. The best part is any "hard parts" to have them powder coated, damn that is so awesome! Drop it off all rusted and pick it up DONE. I have found that just the primer and paint cost for me to do it is as much as the powder coating costs!
