Two options, do I....
Send chassis away for blast + powder coat
Make a homebuilt blasting/painting tent and do it conventionaly at home with spray gun?

Trouble is the cost and the fact I can't make any changes when it's done - and I see this as an evolving project...

I got slated for what I did to my chassis but I don't care! 
I hand painted mine with Epoxy 121 paint which is a two pack that is impervious to salt/acid/brake fluid etc and does not chip/flake.
It looks rough, but at least I won't be fretting everytime a stone hits the car.
I figure that if you buy a new car, put the first dent in it with a hammer so that you can relax when you put it in a car park!
Being a rough finish, I will be able to repaint any damage without it noticing.
If you use powder coating, I guarantee it will chip/rust in a few short years and p*ss you off.

Half the powder coat has come off my wishbones already and I haven't even driven it!
Can that epoxy paint be sprayed?

In the shippyard that I'm working the 2 component epoxy paint is used for painting transoceanic ships. And yes it is sprayed.
I guess you coud polish it for a smooth aperance.

+1 on the powercoating. Avoid. I had a chassis done in it once and it cracked and peeled off before the thing was even built. Almost impossible to
repair too.
Go with an epoxy (lots around) or an enamel. The important part is the bond so the chassis will HAVE to be etch primed after sandblasting.
Powdercoat looks good to begin with but if it's done wrong it's useless. If the coaters heat the chassis too much the coating becomes
brittle and will flake off and chip really easily.
Coating over bare steel does not achieve a bond either so even if the coating comes out right, its still not really stuck to the metal.

Epoxy 121 bonds straight on bare steel without a primer. That was another reason I choose it.
