Don't get it blasted if you want to chrome, you have to get it acid dipped.

There is another place in Mile End that gets rave reviews too. I think they are even cheaper than Delway Brass.
Schwinn Madison single speed
Trek 1500
Centurion Equaliser
Avanti MTB converted to single speed

have used them for over 10 years for all my chrome/polishing/powdercoating stuff and they are really really good to deal with

go and have a talk to them, ask about other forms of blasting; bead or soda if you are concerned. see here under Mediabjammin wrote:I'm having second thoughts of sand blasting & powder coating, I've read in other posts that sandblasting can be too agresive for lightweight frames
Tonight I am going to clean up an old saddle frame using a mates bead blaster prior to repainting.
from what I understand, if you are going to get it 'blasted' it needs to be primed or powercoated very very soon afterwards (ie within hours) to avoid rusting of the frame.
Why not go and talk to the powercoaters and ask. Particularly ask if they regularly deal with bike frames, (ie if they know how to protect the threads). I recall that one of the Southern Vets said he owned a powdercoating business at Lonsdale. Try ringing any down there and ask if they do bikes.
then share your knowledge please.
pffft, try getting to some top speedsbjammin wrote: but when you hit 70km/hr it has to be perfect

It looks better in the picture, trust me.
I decided to strip it again which watsed over $100 worth of incredible decals, and remembered how good it looked naked. Still unfinished but thinking about switching back to red and black accents, and since this thread popped up, Im again concidering a white powdercoat.
Remember that if you do decide to leave an Aluminium frame unpainted, youll need to have it polished and clear coated so as to prevent the sweat coroding the metal and blackening it. You may be able to see that in this one

There are places that do glass bead blasting which is pretty good.
If you want chemical cleaning, try Safe Strip out at Wingfield. They have done heaps of stuff for me, and the guy is really good. Does lots of vintage car stuff, so has a good rep.
My frame & forks cost $80 to get blasted, and powder coated in a white pearl with a clearcoat too.
