Okay I have slightly surface rusted 66 frame (cleans easy), and I'm getting ready to paint the frame. I do have access to getting it sanblasted (axles and all), but before I do, I'd like to hear some experiences others have had with similar resources. I do not have a compressor or paint gun, and have no Pro painting experience. My ideal process would be rattle can, or brush on, and cover the frame. Sandblasting is an option, based on which product I use.

Thoughts?

The sandblaster that did mine did truck frames all the time, he blasted then used PPG ( devoe) industial epoxy I then top coated with a coat of PPG ( DEVOE) industrial urethane.
It is super tough and pretty cheap . It is 2 part and I think I payed around $90 for a gallon , laquer thinner doesn't even mark it now.
I had a couple of spots that i welded on after and used por15 and rustoleum paint they aren't holding up near as well.

Are these brush or spray bomb products?
