While the idea is correct, sandblasting is actually an antiquated term and not what you want. The more generic media blasting is what to ask for. Sand is actually very harsh for a metal surface. The chairs deserve a good finish once the rust is taken care and powdercoating as others have suggested would be ideal. Most of the time a good powdercoating business will clean/blast the chair for you so there would be no need in taking it elsewhere if you went this route.

Mrs.Mack - it's been a while since I've worked with large scale printing but I remember it being printed at an odd dpi... seems like 96 maybe? You obviously loose a ton of resolution since the images like a billboard are intended to be viewed from a distance and detail is not as important so a lot is lost. A place like www.giganticcolor.com might be a good starting point.

Now, if I could just find the pre-printed images like the wall of aspen trees that was in an old cb2 catalog I think.
