So I got the frame loaded in my POS truck, and hauled it to the blaster and powder coater. Turned out pretty good, and just for reference, to have the bare frame blasted and powder coated cost me $750 in my area, which is probably a little more than most, but I am in a greater metro area.

As a suggestion, if you're going to do this, I suggest you take some time and clean up welds, slag, etc, and have the frame checked for cracks and repaired as needed.

I looked into boxing the frame but figured for my build, it wouldn't be required. If anyone is curious as to my logic, feel free to ask.
