Will you pull the suspension off before blasting?  And what paint will you use?

Anyway, it is going to look great.

The chassis will be sandblasted complete, and then primed in black epoxy primer, and then gloss black enamel.

Or Maybe Satin Black would be the correct paint for the chassis.

Satin would be closer to factory.  But either will look great.
