Yes mate but it's my local blaster and powder coater up in Barnsley called Metal Magic.

Done loads of sets of Tuff and a set of Piranha Banana mags that came out like they'd just been made..... fantastic stuff.

I am sure there was a sticky in the tech section started by Sid1972 a good few years ago with addresses everyone added so have a skim mate. I could have course be wrong - let's face it it is the most likely scenario  :2funny:

Make sure you explain to them what you are wanting.
Most of them use high pressures to get jobs done quicker, this can ruin aluminium/magnesium etc.

Phew, so glad they got back safe and sound Lee. Normally they are much quicker but with only two nozzlemen in the place, having one off sick for a couple of weeks was a disaster :-\

They look great - I asked them to be careful around the tube hole so they didn't lose the detail so I hope they came out ok :coolsmiley:
