sandblasted, epoxy primered, and powder coated. I know the originals were just painted, but I'm moving up to Philly, i just replaced a rusted out frame, and I want mine to last. Besides, a frame swap is such a pain in the ass, I don't want to do it again.

Looks REALLY nice. I am about to take a body off an M38A1. Do you reccommend the lifting points shown in the photo or was there some wrinkling?

no wrinkling, but almost every bolt was frozen in place and had to be cut off

I notice you mention epoxy primer, before powder coating. Isn't Powder coating done on blasted bare metal? I'd have thought the process of baking the powder coat would burn the epoxy off.

Powder coating temps are around 350°F. I'm pretty sure epoxy will withstand that. I'd be more concerned about the adhesion of the powder coating to the epoxy primer.
