I remember someone mentioning (I believe it was in the Moots section on the RoadBikeReview forum) that he had sent a pair of King Ti cages to Moots for matching bead blasting.
So Jon, is this something that you guys will do for anyone? Any chance you all might start selling King cages already blasted in the Moots online store? If not, what would be the best procedure for obtaining such a product - purchase a pair and send them to the factory? What would be the cost?

WGP,
I doubt Moots will waste there time to bead blast other products (but possible Jon will let you know).
I had my King Ti Cages Bead Blasted by the fine folks at Spectrum Powder Works in Colorado Springs. Spectrum also Titanium Etched my decals into my frame so it was easy for them to blast the cages. Call Spectrum and ask what they would charge? http://www.spectrumpowderworks.com/spwcontact.html
Any local shop with a bead blaster could do it for you, I believe Moots uses a 00 Glass Bead Material pretty common. The cages look fantastic after the bead blasting to match the frame, I can tell the difference.

Gents,
We have been blasting cages for a dealer in Palo Alto, Ca. This has lead to the discussion of offering them on our site, pre-blasted. We don't have a price for doing them at the moment. I'll update when we do.
A few of us have done our own and it does look really nice on our frames.
More to come.
Thanks,
Jon@Moots
Has anyone asked Ron at King Cage if he can do it or have a bead blaster in Durango bead blast a batch of his cages? I spoke with Ron a few days back and he is a really nice guy... shoot him an e-mail and ask: kingcage@animas.net
If you have a chance, visit his site and check out the video... pretty funny! http://www.kingcage.com

Great post Guys.
I live in Australia and have an 03 SL Compact that could really do with a re-blast.
Sending it back to Moots to have it done is just not cost effective.
So I've considered getting it done here and am wondering exactly what material is used and if there would be any problems?
Maybe Jon could help here.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure Ron does not have a bead blast machine....
I can tell you we use a glass bead, I don't mean to be secretive, but we do have to have some.
Thanks,
Jon@Moots
I have the bead-blast cages on all my Moots.
They match perfectly— gorgeous:
