Well, thats a first! I never even thought of the possibility of sandblasting through a metal tubeWhen I build steel frames, sometimes the tube is as thin as 0.007 (7 thousandths of an inch) and I sandblast EVERY frame prior to finishingIf your frame is steel (CrMo or Hiten) don't worry about itYou'll take off more metal by hand sandingIf your frame is aluminum then you will either have to strip it chemically or have it walnut-shell blastedI personally dislike powdercoatingjust too heavy lookingtoo thick.
