What about powder coating a sub? Is that a option? What are the pros and cons of it?

I’ve never inquired about the price,
but thought acid dipping might be an option for small subs (especially the
inside) instead of sandblasting.

Paint...zinc primer
Good tip. I called the New England
facility and the owner isn't set up to do anything as large as the 600.
His rust removal bath is only 12 feet long and the 600 is 14 feet, but he also
didn't feel that he could handle the weight which right now (stripped) is
around 3,000 pounds. He also said that if he was capable of doing it the
cost would be around $4-5k which is more than twice the estimate I was given to
have the 600 sandblasted and thermal zinc coated. So I guess it's off to
the sandblaster for me.
