I would suspect that being in your area the chassis may not be to bad. If thats the case a good power wash, maybe a little scrubbing with a brush and you could then coat it with the POR15.
If your not familiar with it you may want to read up on it before making a decision.....but in the end it all depends on what you want and how good.

Aside from that I agree, after laboring on blasting my chassis. Never again!!! LEt someone else do it....and I still used por15

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
