Can you give something to back up this claim? or is it just your personal preference? Chemical threatment can achieve the same results.

I have gathered this:
Chemical pre-treatments involve the use of phosphates or chromates in submersion or spray application. These often occur in multiple stages and consist of degreasing, etching, de-smutting, various rinses and the final phosphating or chromating of the substrate. The pre-treatment process both cleans and improves bonding of the powder to the metal. Recent additional processes have been developed that avoid the use of chromates, as these can be toxic to the environment. Titanium Zirconium and Silanes offer similar performance against corrosion and adhesion of the powder.

Another method of preparing the surface prior to coating is known as abrasive blasting or Sandblasting and shot blasting. Blast media and blasting abrasives are used to provide surface texturing and preparation, etching, finishing, and degreasing for products made of wood, plastic, or glass. The most important properties to consider are chemical composition and density; particle shape and size; and impact resistance.
It does not state one to be superior over another, and basically states they provide the same end result but are two completely different methods.

Im sure if you "prefer" it sandblasted, he will do it, not sure what the price will be. Honestly I didnt see a sanblasting station but he has so much stuff in that huge warehouse, that I could have easily missed it. Contact him directly and he will give you the answer.

This guy knows what hes doing. He doesnt just do automotive work, he does various other metal work. If his business is growing and his company is doing well, don't you think hes doing something right?

Honestly I dont know what the outcome will be of my rims. Only time will tell with wear and tear. If its best to throw a clear coat, I will talk to him.
