Bare metal frame finish with laquer your tips please

Getting a frame blasted and then wishing to coat with laquer,would this last long,also any tips on blasting please,is glass blasting better than sand? no serious rust so looking for a process which isn't too harsh,anyone used the aluminium oxide process to remove paint,can this be cheaper?

Blasting will affect colour and surface texture of steel in many different ways. We use 3 different types of media (that I know of), also egg shell and vapour blasting.

All would give differing results, have you any thoughts on how you want it to look after blasting ?
