Thanks fellas!

I have a set that I took to the sand blaster. I thought they were paint/clearcoat finish, but when he started blasting them he said it is a really thick powder coat. Ended up costing a bit more because it took longer to blast the powder coat off. I would let the powder coat guy tank them.
