Tallahassee Welding and Powdercoating will do sandblasting. They are on Lake Bradford towards the stadium. I had them do my long tube headers and they charged me $50.

I'll do the valvecovers for 20.00. What I can do is do a small part of them and see if you like the finish and if you do we can finish them.
