sandblasting

Just checking on the going rate to get some blasting done.

I recently got th following blasted and want to know if I got a fair price.

1) 5 rally wheels
2) 4 headlight bezels
3) 1 complete ashtray assembly
4) 1 license plate bracket


I will post what I paid later. I want you thoughts for now.

Thanks

Jason

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

Re: sandblasting

That makes me feel a little better. I paid 60.00 to have all this blasted.

Thanks for all the replys
