Soda blasting?

Gearhead999 · 03-27-2005, 01:42 PM

Just read in a Cruiser magazine here in Flordia. A company is advertising the average car at $450 to have it media blasted. Heck, that's not a bad deal when you said that the small blaster was $250. And that is just the start of spending money on the equipment, clean up and labor to do it yourself.

had my 65 media blasted professionally. I think it costs around $500-$600. Was well worth the money, and did not remove any of the original filler from the factory.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Professional cost around here is $500.00
It is just one of those things I am wondering if I can do it. Besides my son's car makes a good victim for my mistakes. It has small areas of bondo I'd like to explore before having a shop work on it.

As far as the Equip, I have the compressor & well the rest is a tax write off for me so I do not mind buying it. Heck I'll donate it later & take another tax write off!!!
I'll have to check on rental.
