You could just pay a local powder coater to blast it for you. Instead of buying one and using it twice.

harbor freight in pleasant hill has some cheep ones?! there tools are cheep buy they have a year warrantee, a buddy of mine and i got a set of ratchet wrenches there, the 8mm on my friends set broke. brought it back they gave him a new set? its a possibility. sand blaster is cool as long as you have a big air compresser. i've been debating getting one to see how well they work?
