You are one organized man. Your shop looks sharp. :metal:

Oh snap - sorry for the hassle. You do exactly what I do with vendors that seem to wander from what you're asking: Telling them 3 times, and if they dog the job (like yours), go out of your way to spread the word.

Mac. :chevy:

Ive had some bad experience with a powdercoater up here too. Its funny how they try and pass the **** on to you just hoping you'll take it and walk out the door. Ill do that then check it outside. Go back in and its " oh whats the problem? I didnt even notice anything wrong with it". Glad to hear you found a new place.

Yep when I used to be in Retail sales the rule generally was. If you piss somebody off they will tell at least 7 people. You do a customer good and he will be back and tell at least 3 others.

So the piss off to impress ratio isn't even, but hey thats the way it works. ;)

It made it back to the shop, no problems, turned out sweet....the wife has pics on her iPhone.....I will post them later tonight.....
Looks like I found me a blaster:metal:
super nice people, and excellent work....
And your friend is right...plastic is the only way to go. it leaves a fine etch in the metal. I do need to clean up some seam sealer, tar stuff under the dash, and some weatherstrip adhesive, but other than those it should just be a wipe it down and primer......

I can not think of one thing I would rather see in the "bare" more than a freshly sandblasted 4-5-6 Chevy cab...okay maybe one thing, but what a sight to behold. Congrats on the milestone and thanks for sharing the pix.

Is that flash rust or primer left? Make sure you treat the metal before you prime it or you will have problems several years down the road.
