soda blasting , has anyone had this done to strip thier cars down to metal -- the idea is that it doesn't heat up the netal and possibly distort it .. also doesn't blast right through bondo so it can be dealt with on a area by area basis .

any thoughts , expirances and what did it cost you ?

so what are they saying is teh hourly rate for the soda blasting ?

considering you are in another state and market, you'd be wise to look in the yellow pages for your real prices and not base the job from quotes in a totally different location (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

at a minimum, figure a few hours at $50 an hour, of course there could be a minimum charge as well.......
