Those prices are amazing.. I wish I could find someone to do this and primer the car for me local. It would get me so far a head and for it to be primered right after would make life so much eaiser!
My buddy has his entire car media blasted and it was over $1200.00,
my local blaster just puts a couple straps throught the glass area and lifts the car 6 feet off the ground with a shop crane and goes to town. It's a great way to find and remove all the rust especially if you know your going to be replacing panels like the gem I started with.
