Cost to sandblast and powdercoat LWB frame?
Just wondering what I should expect to pay to have a LWB frame sandblasted and powedercoated afterwards? I've done wire wheels in the past, as well as chemical stripping, followed by por 15 at home and was happy with the results. Although cost effective, it took me a LOT of time. In the interest of saving myself some time now, what have some of you recently paid to have blasting/coating done?

I would think less than a grand, I got a swb frame done like that for $700.00
including the control arms, trailing arms and crossmember. Been a few years back.

I paid $550 for a short bed frame, front control arms, rear trailing arms, and all of the cross members. This included PB front arms, and rear stage 2 notch and stabilizer bar and all the brackets.
I had the rear end, rear drums and backing plates, front spindles, steering linkage, and 15" steel wheels done at a later date. I'm probably forgetting some pieces, I believe I had a total of $600 for this stuff...

Re: Cost to sandblast and powdercoat LWB frame?
I paid right at 1000 dollars. I have a shortbed but that shouldnt matter too much. The rear end was completed when I had that rebuilt so it was not part of the frame restoration cost we are discussing. I had a few extra pieces from Porterbuilt like the frame stiffener as well so that may reduce your cost a little compared to mine. I am really happy the way that it turned out though. I highly recommend it versus painting or using rust reformer.
