Powder coating frame

[SIOUXfan1]

What could I expect this to cost if I remove everything and bring the frame in?  Is it worth the extra time or would I be better off just blasting the frame and painting it with chassis paint? My vehicle is a 76 k10 long bed.

Powder coating is great if you have a good epoxy primer and the frame is perfectly clean and whoever coats it leaves it in the oven long enough to properly cure it out...  A better system is a liquid zinc rich epoxy with a urethane topcoat...

     I had my frame for my 74 project powdered coated about 3 years ago, there regular price started at $550.00.  I live around Sac. CA. so depending on where you live it might be a little less.
     Make sure if you go this route that you check into the reputation of the shop.  But be afraid to ask questions or tell them you want it to bake a little longer.  I have seen a lot of powdered coated things before and if the prep and baking process as Zeig pointed out is not done right, it will be worse than if you just did it yourself.
     The good thing is if they do it right it will last for a very long time.
