Yes, that=B9s what it will look like. Or at least it did for me. Even sand blasting doesn=B9t get rid of the grease. I used a wire brush on a= n angle grinder and went to town. I went through 2 wire brushes to get all the gunk free. I then used lots of de-greaser to clean the bare metal then went over it again with lacquer thinner. I cleaned it again with grease cutting liquid soap and water and went back at it with the lacquer thinner. Then I hand painted the chassis with Por 15. It was a lot of work. I thin= k I=B9d pay for the sand blasting then do the cleaning bit. Either way, it is messy.
