Re: Project: Turbo 250

So here is my predicament I just degreased and powerwashed my framerail today and turns out what I thought was surface rust was just grime and 85% of the rail is still covered in the factory paint. The other 15% not covered I either power-washed off when I got to close or is light surface rust and could be hand-sanded off. SO.... I already own the equipment and material to sandblast the entire frame and I already have POR-15, Do I take the time and blast the frame and take off the factory paint and start from bare metal and then POR-15 it, or do I just sand the factory paint to scuff it up and sand off any of the remaining rust and POR 15 the frame? Any thoughts or other ideas. On a side note it is not in my budget to pay someone to powder coat the frame as nice as that would look...
