"Mi Vieja" (My Old Lady) 68 c10 Project Build

[marcolara]

So it begins... I have taken the rear end off the frame and now is cleaning time. I know cleaning these parts will be a painful lengthy process if I do it myself, so I'm opting in to getting them clean by a powdercoater or anyone that can sandblast the heck out of the frame, control arms, rear-end and a couple of small parts. I don't think I will get them powdercoated because is expensive, so I may just use a frame paint and brush it on or something. Do you guys think there is a better/affordable way other than brushing the paint to have a good finish? How should I prep and what should I use to prep/paint?

I'm still looking for shops that will do the cleaning work, but is hard to find good shops or people that won't burn you.

Anything I should be watching for, any questions you guys think I should ask, anything to help me find the right resource for this task is highly appreciated.
