Another alternative is chassis saver for anyone whom never used it. they offer it in satin, which I'v just got but yet to use. Their silver is really nice, they have lt. grey, gloss black as well. also cheaper than POR.
On this build..I stripped the frame by hand like you see. It is a great option if money is tight and you have the time. However, next time I will probably send the frame out to the blasters as I found a guy here so does it for a great price.
