If you're having someone else plate it, ask them how they want it prepped. (I guess if you were plating it yourself, you would know already!). I'm pretty sure they want some tooth on there but the plating guys will know more. In fact you might want to post over in that forum.
I doubt that blasting would help, unless the frame needs to be cleaned. It won't do anything for the scratches - in fact real aggressive blasting might just make more work for you.

I've only seen greasless up to 320 or so - definitely not finer than a sisal/emery finish.
If there's one thing I've learned over the past few years, it's that words like "fast", "easy", and "shortcut" simply don't apply to polishing (not a comment about your post, just a fact).
