I had my frame sandblasted and primed for $125. At the time, I thought
that was a lot of money. Now I would pay twice that.
Most sandblasters will paint and prime as well as sandblast. There is no
better way to make paint stick, and it is hardly expensive.

> Well my 56 Chevy is stripped down to the frame. The plan is to de-rust
