Old tin is better than new. The new stuff lacks some of the deflectors 
internally.

Well that's where my mechanic is being a pain.  I know I should just do 
whatever the heck I want to do.  I wanted to get old tin and powder coat it or 
buy new already powder coated tin a long time ago but the mechanic says he had 
a good set of tin and he bought the stuff to powder coat it himself and I am 
thinking, I better get this for like free if he is learning on something for my 
Bus.  But he has not bothered to try it out yet, and now he says he has a 
friend who will do it for him like out of his garage.  He says that old tin 
works better than new tin.  I do not know if this is true.  At this point I do 
not really care what the tin looks like, I can always switch it out later.  But 
it is probably silly to waste money and time getting a mediocre powder coating 
job. Sorry if I am rambling but I am fustrated!

I would take it to a "good" powder coater and let him prep it the way he wants 
it.  I don't think a good powdercoater will sandblast it.
