Tore down the front yesterday.
All ready to blast and powder coat.
One local shop quoted ~$500 to blast and powder coat front and rear pieces.
$80 per hour for blasting!!
This seems high to me.
Any opinions?

Prices seem to vary greatly on blasting and powder coating costs. I get large parts done for about $50 each. Plug the ends of the A arms before blasting then remove the plugs at the front end to clean inside before powder coating. You don't want grease dripping out when they get baked. The dirt and rust accumulates around splined front.
