Just trying to get an idea on how much to get a bare frame blasted. how much was it for you to get it done?

lowrider79 · 08-10-2005, 10:27 PM

I did my own but I got a quote for $130 to $150

jay-dawg · 08-11-2005, 03:10 AM

wow that's cheap....

DTerry · 08-11-2005, 06:23 AM

I think we paid $150, blasted and epoxy primed.

70c10swb · 08-11-2005, 05:37 PM

something to think about where you're from is where does the blasters sand come from// make sure it's bagged sand i knew a guy in your area(marthas vineyard) he used to get free sand at the beach for blasting ..took awhile for people to catch on that the beachsand was loaded with millions of years of salt and it was now imbedded in thier metal talk about express rusting!!!

$100 and they used aluminum oxide not sand.

Depends on the time of year it is 100 degrees with 80 % humidity here so I would charge $ 750.00

. In the fall / winter $150.00 sounds about right.
