Seemed high. Is that a fair price? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Keep looking that is insane That is outrageous. Keep looking. Do you have a compressor? If so consider buying a blast cabinet. Harbor freight has them for a reasonable price. |

You need a good size compressor to make it work. Blasting is great but I wouldn’t want to do it in my house. The dust gets everywhere. Unless you plan to do a lot of it, I would search around for the right size shop (at the right price) to do it for you.

Ask your local car club guys… |
