Don't get me wrong; I'm glad you were able to get your frame blasted and powder coated for $300, but I don't see how. He lost money on that. His consumables were probably close to that much. That took a lot of time to blast and clean off. It had to be baked in the oven to outgas. Then it had to be cleaned off. Then it took several pounds of powder to do something that big. At $300 he made nothing.
