Armourtex can't do it, as it's too big for their tanks (their tanks are built for bikes - so pretty large length by depth, but very narrow - about 130mm as you'd imagine) so trying to find somewhere that does bigger stuff, but strangely the information that the professionals have is wierdly inconsistent
Some say you have to dunk it, because shot blast will ruin alu, some say shot blasting it is fine, and some say that you can't strip powder coat of alu at all. Very odd.
kirkov - this is another bit of info someone gave me on the phone today, said in recent years nitromors has lost its touch because of regulations. he reckoned with old nitromors the powder coat literally fell off!
don't know where any of this leaves me though!
