Is there any advantage to blasting then powdercoating? I would think the pc just nullifies the blast. ---

I would think the pc just nullifies the blast. The only reason I blast is to remove the ano. Also helps knock down some of the scratches and dings doesn’t remove them but helps a little. All the powder coat jobs I have done have all been over a polished finish. So the blast goes bye bye. When they are blasted they make for some sweet grinds but the powder coat doesn’t grind too good due to it’s super smooth finish. One of the perks of the powder over the ano is the durability. One of the powder jobs I did and then decided to strip off later I banged the yoyo into the concrete on purpose. Scratched the powder but not down to the metal if it had been anoed then it would have scratched bad for sure. With a little refinishing you can get the scratches out of the powder, to a limit of course. Eventually I am going to be doing ano as well. 8) But thats a little ways off. ---

All the one’s I have done have been vibe free or have had exsisting vibe. The only play it effects is helping out with the grinds. ---
