Anyone have recommendations for having my frame blasted near Richmond VA?

Hi Mike,
Yes, we have a great blaster in Ashland and they do fantastic work. Had mine done back in February of 2013. They can also powder coat if you need it. I had just the blasting done and followed that with POR 15 coating. http://www.hanoverpowdercoating.com/
Thanks,
Norm

Did you have them do the POR15 also? What kind of rate did they charge?

They do only powder coating. The POR is up to you. Price I think was less than two hundred bucks but my receipts are not handy right now. Just give them a call and they will quote you over the phone. Also got quick turnaround. Drop one day and picked up the next. Hope this helps,

Boy that frame came out great what was the por15 color you used. flat or gloss or what. Beautiful job

This one was done with the semi-gloss. Have done several frames so far, one is over 4 years old and still looks like new. POR is awesome, just don't let it get on your hands. Takes a couple of weeks for it to wear off.

Good to know there's a good resource very local to me!

Did you have a hard time contacting them? I have called 3-4 times with no answer left two messages and got you return call.

Mike,
Never had to call them. I was in the area and went by the shop. Not a large work crew so if they are all in the back, probably no one to answer the phone. Hope you are able to make contact. Hope they are still in business !!!!

I talked to them earlier today and they quoted 8-900 for blasting and powder coating.

I been calling around shops and surprised how many only have small power coating ovens. So far I have only contacted and spoke to the one place that will do it. And even they said they would have someone else do part of the work.
