I had the frame on my '62 blasted and then did the KBS Coating three-layer process. It was awesome - a glossy black that I could hit with a hammer and it wouldn't chip off. I actually brushed it on and, because it self-etches, it levelled out with no brush marks.
If I had my way I'd cool my heels. save my money up and do the job properly - get the frame blasted to give you the best substrate to work with. Can you get blasting garnet where you are? Many media blasters in Australia don't work with sand due to the danger of silica inhalation, and use garnet, which can be re-used.
I've done a transmission and suspension items with garnet and it rocks. Ha ha.
