Hi Kid,
I'm in VA and can't find a vapor blaster. Where in NC is your guy?

Thanks,
Ed

Hey APRRSV,

I have yet to get anything done there, but there's a shop in Greensboro called Ironworks Motorcycles. I believe they got their machine this past Spring.
 
Alright so this might be a silly question, but I can't find an answer elsewhere. When powder coating a frame, the steering neck gets masked off to prevent the PC from getting inside. After the powder coating, should I do anything to the raw metal inside the neck where the bearings go? I'm concerned about rust inside the neck. Paint doesn't make sense since it's such a tight tolerance for the bearings. Thoughts?
