frame off advice

[GIZZ]

If you have the room to spare for as long as the project takes, Id pull the body off to make the frame look nice.

I'm about to go through the same thing with my panel truck.

If I still had my car hauler without a doubt I'd be getting the frame blasted and powder coated. Weigh out the cost of consumables and paint, and your time, it makes sense to just pay to get it blasted and coated. I'm still considering renting or buying a trailer to get this done, otherwise I'll just hate myself and use this case of RustBullet.

Talked to a few mobile blasters today. Any experience with the dustless guys? or go old school?

I took my rolling frame to an industrial truck cleaner (they will come to your location but I wanted all the junk in his wash bay not in my driveway! I looked at water jet sand blast / dry ice $/walnut shell.
In the end I stripped everything off and had it sand blasted. Treat it quickly after sand blast to prevent oxidization. I used POR 15 but it is will not tolerate humidity during application / drying and is nasty for your lungs. It turned out great and is tough as nails (I brushed it to reduce waste / save lungs)

Thanks for the advice franks72. That was my plan for the paint. Yours looks great and you say you did it with a brush? I'm all for that
