Evening Fella's
Right im SERIOUSLY considering getting my shell (FRST) blasted at home,
and id be interested to know if anyones had it done and could praps give me a rough idea of costs..?
Or if poss a roughen on costs to have it done at a premisis..?

....do i buy a compressor and syphon feed an do it myself??
Im after getting the inside/belly and bay done to bare metal, so is as spotless as can be ready to start again.
Ive stripped ALL the stone guard/seem sealer and proofing off including the 2inch thick that ford proofed the rear arch's with
So basically its all bare, but i just cba being under the cnut with a wire wheel/drill an thinners cleaning it up for the next month and feel blasting should get all the crannies clean that i cant..
Anyways sorry for the essay
And Many thanks as always

Was about Ł200 for the whole shell the first time and he only charged me Ł100 the second time so very reasonable .
I've heard of some people been quoted much more though don't think he'd travel to Essex though we are West Midlands.

It's cost me about Ł150 to do it myself but I already had a compressor and lines so I only needed to by the 75ltr tank, kit, gun and grit, but took weeks to clean up the mess lol

you need a very big compressor and would not want to d it ur self or on drive out side your house
unless you have a big place id take it to them ,we do a lot of mobile blasting as we have all the rite gear
