I forget what he used to blast the rims but yes he did blast them to knock the finish off the rims to get down to the paint. Then he stripped the paint off the rims, cleaned them up and did the deed. According to him he wouldn't suggest not blasting the rims, you can do it other ways but you need to at least have the finish taken off for the powder coat to adhere to.
Total cost for me getting the rims and having them done is $525.00. $425.00 of that being the powder coating. I am sure I paid a little more than most people but I live in the middle of nowhere and finding someone to do this work was like trying to schedule an appointment to meet the president. I am very satisfied and could care less if I paid $100 or whatever more than others. I dropped the rims off Thursday evening and he had them ready to go today when I got there so it didn't take long.
