I'm still a noob, so I may not be 100%, but: You can powder coat items without sandblasting them. But if you DO sandblast, the surface is FAR superior for the powder to grab/adhere to. The sandblast media creates little pits that the powder can sink into.
What do you plan on PC'ing emopunk96?? The thing you have to remember too, is that it all depends on the parts that you are PC'ing. If the parts you have are cast aluminum that doesn't have any coating, then you can probably get away with just a solvent cleaning. But if the part had any paint or if it's a really slick surface (ie; a wheel that was polished, but gonna be PC'ed), then it might not stick to the item very well. Like I said before, i'm noob and may be wrong about that, so let's hear from you pro's!!
