right had these powdercoated locally just to see what its like, they were quite rusty and pitted anyhow, they are still pitted in places, but the smooth places looks good, is the blast not meant to get rid of the pitted places? i know f**k all about blasting! wasnt a lot so im not overly bothered about the money. guess a lot of rubbing down would be needed! thanks guys ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

Using a grinder will make the finosh quaity worse.
sand blast is better than shotblasting.
As im a powdercoater by trade, sand them smooth, ot failing that bead blast or sandblast is better as it not so hard on the material, and the finish is better.
But as RICHIEST stated: unless its a show car, it will get chipped away.
