I pay $35 per wheel, which includes blasting. If I supply my own powder*, he only charges me $20 per wheel. I think it's a bargain as I hate to blast.
*It's an industrial shop (they do all the suspension parts for Skyjacker and Superlift) and they don't carry a large variety of colors in stock (black, white, red, yellow) so I bought the closest I could find to Wimbledon White from Eastwoods.

My last frame cost $325 to have blasted and powder coated. Shop around. The quotes I have for my slick frame have ranged from $295 TO $600. It just depends on how far I want to travel...
