I had my tub soda blasted for $1000 2 years ago. I had everything...... nuts bolts, wires and grommets....removed. they sand blasted some of the areas like floor pans and under the fenders and sodda blasted the rest. about the only part of thge car left unmolested was the insides of the doors!

I had mine done for $850. There were a few areas he could do like under the headlights. He said he wouldn't do the bottom of the trunk or hood because it would damage the outer panels. I did give him an extra $400 to prime the intire car so it would be same from surface rust. I don't know if that was really needed. He did apply a heavy coat of primer.

This prime wasn't intended as the coat that I would apply my paint over. It was to protect the bare metal. He did do a nice job of making sure all the surfaces that were stripped had paint on them.

$1200 would be about right. Make sure it's primed IMMEDIATELY after blasting and I mean right from blast to the next room for prime. The surface will start to rust immediately and even finger prints will cause you problems down the road. I can't overemphasize this step. It's worth the few hundred extra to get it done.
This prime is only intended for rust prevention and protection. It doesn't matter how much body work is needed. Re-prime as you go... |
