Sand blasting frame and suspension

I am taking my frame and all my control arms, axle and springs down to get sand blasted this week, the shop uses black beauty. I have heard I should stay away from this. My frame is in great shape. They also use crushed glass for another $30 - $50. I don't think the black beauty could hur the frame. I have that in my small blaster and it works great. I plan to hit the parts with scuffing pad and prep solve, then 2 coats of epoxy primer then 2 coats of chassy black. any thoughts

Chris
