and if the sandblasting won't eat away at the gasket between the rear end and the diff housing I would like to have that done as well so I could bring it in as one piece
The reason why engine parts and mechanical parts have to be taken apart for powder coat is because of the process. The part is positively charged and the powder coat is a negative so the powder sticks. Then the part is baked in an oven. Not sure how hot, but I know it's hot enough to start grease on fire. So every part has to be cleaned free of grease, oil dirt ect...
At least that's how it was explained to me when I put parts through the process. I had a frame, swing arm and forks powder coated. I had to purchase about 350 dollars in new bearings and seals.
If you are doing a motor, be prepared to do a "COMPLETE" rebuild. The prep time for the motor is going to be a big deal.
