I will be pulling my body shortly to clean up/paint my frame & install disk brakes (front), relocate the tank to below the bed and install lowering springs/spindles however I can't decide what to do...
1. sand blast the frame or wire wheel?
2. powder coat or primer & paint myself?
I think ultimately I would sand blast & powdercoat but I don't think I can afford to do both on top of the brakes, suspension & gas tank (not to mention I need to re-wire my truck when put back together. So I'm considering at a minimum "painting" the frame myself to save some coin, however will I be disappointed down the road and wish I had of sandblasted & powdercoated?
my truck is from texas and is pretty clean with no serious rust... a little surface rust and some minor oil build up on the frame but that is all.
