Frame Sandblasting and Painting NYC

Hey.

Does anyone know of a place in New York where I can get my frame sandblasted and repainted?

Thanks!

Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

There are a few boutique builders in Brooklyn. I'd get in touch with one and get a quote from someone who knows how it's done. Just about every framebuilder (that paints) does painting as a business, but the price can vary tremendously, so check with a few to see what the options are.

The builders who don't paint can refer you to who they use.

If you can't find a builder on your own, check with either Bicycle Habitat, or 718 bike.

I just found on another forum that a company called Carter in Brooklyn powercoats for about $120 and can get frames sandblasted in the Bowery for $50. Not bad.

Might want to consider media blasting (recommend soda media) instead of sand blasting to protect the details and thin tubes.
