If you're sending it out to be sandblasted and it's down to clean metal, IMO the rust products like por, rust bullet, etc are not what you really need. I would suggest just painting it with a good rust paint, ie tremclad, rustoleum, etc, then topcoating it with a good undercoating like eastwood's chassis black or something similar available from your local autobody supply store. A good undercoating is going to be much more durable in the long run than those other rust products IMO.
FWIW, I've also had problems with POR. I did the underside of my floorboards in my daytona with por. I followed their instructions to the letter and used all their recommended supporting products($$$) and that stuff peeled off after one winter of driving. I do pressure wash the underside of my cars a bit at the car wash, and I guess over the course of one winter that was enough to peel that stuff right off. IF you do insist on using POR or similar products, I highly suggest topcoating them with a good undercoating, just because on their own I don't believe those products to be the most durable stuff out there.
