I'm looking at borrowing some money and buying a new blasting setup. This is a new technology that generates no heat, works EXTREMELY qyuick and is ready for immediate priming. What I am trying to figure out is what a normal sand or soda blast job runs to do the complete exterior. If you are willing to post up what it cost you plese do. I'm thinking if I can get 3-4 jobs lined up I might be able to pay for this ting immediately depending on it's cost.
If you do post, please let me know what type of media was used and on what type of car. I'd like some ideas of what different sized cars run. A friend of mine had his 50 Ford body only done in soda for 1800.00. According to this website their setup would do that car in 2-3 hours total (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Scotty, I am sure you have seen most blasting techniques. What do you prefer for surface preparation? My understanding was that soda, while cleaner leaves a pretty smooth finish and sand if too coarse leaves too rough a finish. I suspect a paint shop would price accordingly to the amount of preparation. I would be curious as to what you recommend.
The guy that did mine runs a stripping company and I watched him blast off the printing on a cigarette (no shit!) without tearing the paper. I don't remember the media he used for that but I was amazed. I know he uses minerals, sand, garnet, plastic and others depending on the needs. |
