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) |

attempting to wrestle this back on track for Scotty... I saw this system this past weekend, was either an infomercial or another show on the speed channel. Uses glass beads and a waterbased solution. IIRC the 'water' includes anti rust chemicals to help prep the metal. Or something like that.

It has the abrasive imbedded. The sponges absorbs the dust after impact. |
