Rob, where in NJ are you? Did you use someone local or ship your frame out to get done? Did you have to strip it yourself or did they include that in their price? The reason I ask is I can get it done at a place in Sparta (northern NJ...Creative Metal Works I think is their name)) and the guy quoted me around $80 just to powdercoat and perhaps another $70 or so to sandblast it. But the good thing is it could be done and waiting for me the next day. But I think they do more industrial type things like railing etc and may only have a minimum selection of colours at the ready. Thanks in advance!
