Wouldn't "media blasting" be sandblasting?

Nope :)  Media blasting means I can shoot almost any blast media at something.  Walnut shells (don't do a good job), coal slag, glass (gives the best finish IMO), aluminum oxide, etc. 

Information alert!
Blasting sand really isn't sand, it's something else.  Beach or play sand is made mostly of silica and when fragmented gets airborne really easily.  Once inhaled, it'll never come out of your lungs and causes Silicosis.

I'm in Atlanta, GA.  I'd have to come up with prices for arcade stuff as I've not done any yet, just car parts.  Like I said, the first bunch of unique items will get VERY special pricing as they'll be the guinea pigs and will help me baseline my product costs and times.

As the old saying goes, I do things any two of these three ways:
cheap, fast, good ;)

I know it'll be asked, so here's some more information:
I get powder from a couple of different sources: 
Rosey's Powder Coating www.roseyspowdercoating.com
Columbia Coatings www.columbiacoatings.com
Eastwood Company www.eastwoodco.com

Edit:  I could maybe work out group buys if there's an interest in that.

I've had the metal parts of my Galaxian blasted (only to finish my sanding) and powder coated. It looks very good and I bet it will survive me :)

I payed €75,- for a range of metal parts (marquee retainers for Galaxian and Mario Bros., Galaxian CP, some other metal strips from MB., Coindoor of the MB., a lot of very small parts (Galaxian joystick etc.). As long as it was in 1 color, it went all for the same price.

That meant I had to pay €75,- for the coin door separately... since that was gray :(

I'm not sure if many of us want to send often pretty rare metal parts long distance for this. I personally would prefer a local coater even if it meant a little more money...that isn't saying that your services would not help some people here !

Well, those who pay with $ are much closer than those who pay with € ;)
