What's the desired finish at the end of what you've described?
I say this because media blasting will leave a dull, grey, textured or "pitted" finish rather than a shiny metal appearance.
On top of that, you also have to deal with the fact that a 'direct' adhesion clearcoat has no anti-corrosion properties so you end up with a clearcoat that once compromised will allow rust to bloom beneath it...like some 90's BMX finishes or the BB17/Mash Works V1.
If your frame is stainless, we would chemically strip it and then apply clearcoat and the above issues wouldn't be a problem.
In either case, you'll pay £80 to have the frame stripped of its original finish and £150 for the clearcoat.
Drop me an email if you wish and I'll talk you through the options.
Thanks for getting back to me. Thats more than what I paid for the frame so think its going to have to be a cheapo powder coat job.
Thanks

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
Ey up.
