Powder coating in NoVA area?
Welp. I can't carry this up to my 4th floor apartment, let alone fit it in my oven, so that's out...
I need to sandblast and powdercoat the rear axle for my 1st gen RX-7. Any suggestions on a place... I need no fancy artwork or colors or anything, just simply killing the rust and putting a durable coating on it.
Might Sandblast it myself if I can find a good air compressor.

1. sandblast part.
2. spray part down with brake cleaner.
3. spray 5 light coats of flat black primer.
4. spray 2 light coats of gloss black and then wet/dry sand with 300grit.
5. spray 3 light coats of flat black.
6. spray 1 medium/heavy coat (just heavy enough, but no drips) gloss black.
7. buff with cotton diaper.
8. sit back and enjoy.
or, for the quickie powdercoat.
1. sandblast part.
2. spray part down with brake cleaner.
3. 3 light coats of flat black.
4. 1 medium coat of gloss black.
5. sit back and enjoy a little bit less.

I really want htis to stand up to some abuse, so powdercoating that's actually baked on would be my first option unless it's too freaking expensive. Then I'll do the Skip Barber method...
Anyone else got any other suggestions?

Digging this back up from the dead... I'll do the Skip barber treatment. Krylon is easier to reapply when it gets chipped up by rocks and such.
I still need a place to sandblast the axle though. It's rusty as hell.
