Powdercoating stock wheels

Powdercoating stock wheels
For the guys that have done this, what did you use to sandblast? I'm currently looking into baking soda or walnut shells, do I need something more abrasive than that?

if you're going to powdercoat after sandblasting.......
you can go with something a little coarser. i'd say like a number 8 glassbead....takes the finish off but still leaves a smooth finish...or go number 9 if your hesitant at all

If you're going to be powdercoating
then you really need to get ALL of the paint off. Whether through sandblasting, or good 'ol fashioned sanding, it must ALL be off and the surface uniform before powdercoating. The powder sticks to the metal by static electricity and then bakes on in an oven. If you can sandblast it, then do it but I'd touch it up with some wetsanding afterwards.
