Re: sandblasting
Probably $100. It's been awhile since I had anything blasted. I know some of the places down here are charging $20 per wheel. They would probably throw in the rest of that list for doing 5 wheels.

Re: sandblasting
I havent had anything blasted in a while, but I would say $100 to$125 would be reasonable.

Re: sandblasting
it'd cost me less than $10 in materials // i bought a sandblaster over 20years ago have saved over $10,000 dollars since then. it pays to buy quality tools if you're in the auto hobby for life

Re: sandblasting
Blasting is ~$75/hour for sand, ~$100 for plastic media. Paying by the part to me seems to be BS. I would think for that stuff an hour or so is about right.
I have an older Eastwood blast cabinet and I get GREAT results at home. BTW, I'm happy to help out any Seattle-ite folks free ANY TIME with blasting or glass beading. C'mon over! |

Re: sandblasting
