pretty much what steve said if i go ahead with it i can experiment to find the right medium for best, smoothest, flatest, finish  :daumenhoch:

Redline:
I've never understood the need for blasting on bmx stuff as the frames were always just bare metal underneath the finish bitd. I don't think you could re-chrome a frame after blasting cos you would have to do sooooo much polishing you'd lose all weld detail, serial numbers etc  :(

.... if it's painted - nitromors it

.... if it's powdercoated - get it chemically dipped

.... if it's chromed - get it de-chromed by reversal

Moza:
Different media for different jobs :daumenhoch: I prime and paint straight over blasted parts but I use plastic (recycled toilet seats lol) I buy this stuff to se and its fine. I must admit when im doing car parts its normally cast metals that I want to keep the rouch finish even when painted. Ive just blasted some DX's and they are ready for paint :daumenhoch:

oldschoolib:
lets have some pics moza
