Frame Sandblasting

[88Nightmare]

Don't know exactly where this should go, but anyway, who can recommend someone in the area that does good sandblasting of frames for a reasonable price? Anyone recommend someone in particular? What should I expect to pay for something like this?

Just the frame, or you got a body too? USpray in Butler does it, your prolly gonna be looking at 200-300. They do it right

[88Nightmare]

yeah just the frame. 200-300 sounds reasonable. What is recommended you do with a sandblasted frame once its done? There has to be something better then painting. What else can you to to prevent rust aside from just painting?

[Yooformula]

powder coating or POR-15?

[PonyKiller87]

you could have it all coated in LineX or some other epoxy type bedliner material

[88Nightmare]

spray the linex on the bare frame? Would that prevent rust?

Another vote for the guys a Uspray-it in Butler.

I would recommend you don't Powder Coat it. It's sounds like a great idea at first, but when you got to mount or weld a bracket or something the powder coat will chip and will be a pain to try to match or fix with paint.

Just my .02

could the USpray guys give me recommendations on what to do with the bare metal frame afterwards?

[Slow Joe]

I have this great idea... Get that stuff that turns rust into a paintable surface the rattle can it :rolf :rolf Just kiddin!

No

POR 15 the frame, you can apply it by either spraying it on or brushing it on. The **** is like paintable concrete, its awesome!

Make sure you follow the steps exactly for POR15. Otherwise it's more mediocre then a rattle can. I've had areas where the stuff has been unbelievably strong, and other areas where it has peeled off like a fruit rollup.

[88Nightmare]

where do I get this POR15 stuff and what might it cost me?

[WilliamZ]

You can get it at Milwaukee Paint Supply in Waukesha, not sure on the price though.
