3. Brush the parts off with a bristle brush (like you would use in the shower)
4. coat and cure.
This will eliminate the degreaser, the acetone, the rags, the torch. Also your air supply up until the point when you coat it.

Post the results
harleydad,
why do I need to media blast as I have sanded this piece down with three different grits of paper? I never touch the area that I'm powder coating and if I have to touch I do use the nitrile gloves. Where can I find this 80 grit Aluminum Oxide?

Thnks for your help.

Ben
