If you are going down to the bare frame it is just about as cheap to have it Powder Coated verses the POR - 15 or Rust Bullet method. I had my frame Powder Coated and they always Blast it to the bare metal. This way you Start with a good sound base for a rebuild. The Powder Coating cost me $325.00 as I remember or there abouts.
I had my Inter Fender Shields also coated as the truck was used for a work truck by my dad when he worked on the repaving of the roads. There was so much "[censored] Mule" and "Road Mix" on the underside of the shields that it needed to be heated up and then cooled down to burn this material off the shields. It takes 24 hours to do this then they Powder Coated them. For the $65.00 it was worth it and saved a whole bunch of time for me.
A note to anyone having this heating method done make sure they know how to do this as very few Powder Coaters have the Ovens to do this. This shop also puts the Ceramic Coating on your Manfolds for you too which I had done for $65.00 on my Rams Horm Manfolds they say it keeps the engine compartment 1200 to 1500 degrees cooler than without it done.
