I paid about $1,200 for all the chassis related parts except springs and axles.

They PC'd the frame, two spare carriers, four inner fenders, core support and all the small brackets, etc.

They did a very nice job, but if you tighten a bolt too much the PC chips and it is almost impossible to touch up. With paint you can touch up in minutes.

To paint after sandblasting, I sand the frame with 300 grit, and coat with epoxy primer, then apply a couple of coats of Rustoleum 7777 satin black. I have the local True Value Hardware order the Rustoleum. I also keep a spray bomb or two of the 7777 for touchup.

I have a truck I did thirty years ago with epoxy and paint and it still looks good.
