I agree with BigSky71 and I also live on a dirt road. I have a frame that I am or was working on, I do not yet know all of the modifications I will be making. I definately will go with a sandblaster in Appleby TX, after that a good primer and black paint. I can touch up the paint if needed anytime, was told that the powder coating route would make touch ups more difficult. That is when I get back to that project.
The only thing I do not like about the sandblaster in Appleby is I have to look at a 69 4WD Blazer when I go there that I can not buy. The rolling frame has been blasted and painted, the body has been balsted and primered and it just sits there. I was told another customer of theirs paid a local restorer in advance who spent the money elsewhere and his project is in limbo.
