I've been in contact with Braymen's Powder Coating & Media Blasting 3664 NE 43rd Place Ocala, FL 34479. Do you know them? sourmash JAN 25, 09:32 AM Hope they didn't use actual sand on sheet metal? Blasting companies don't hire from an elite pool of candidates. You have to spend several minutes with the manager to get comfortable with his abilities to deliver and communicate your concerns to his employees. There's got to be a lot of turn over and language barriers in that line of work. Give them a small test piece to redo before giving them the real thing--but still make sure the same manager understands your concerns. I sent some steel A pillar pieces to be blasted once. They used sand and blasted away all weakened material. These couldn't be warped since they were thick, contoured and had a leather grain pattern embossed, but whatever they used was too much on them. No more work for those guys. Even when standing over someone that tells you they understand and will do what you want you often won't get what you asked or paid for. Everything is corporatized now. No pride in craftsmanship.
