Damn, they do a crappy job of blasting it? I had my Ciocc done by them last winter and the coating went on rather thick, meaning that the nice embossed details were lost. I pondered whether they had actually stripped it all and had just put the powder-coat on top of the previous powder-coating; maybe that is the case. I hope this frame that I dropped off goes okay, it is just an old mountain frame that my friend wants for a winter bike.
