Default Where to get sandblasting done?

Hello,

I have not really looked about my area but where would you guys say to get it done.

What does it cost? e.g. what have you paid for items.

Many Thanks Eigdoog.

Not bad at all i dont think. I was thinking more parts to get done but if a car seems that cheap then i gotta get my shit done.

Also what about powder coating?

The major downside I found after having my shell done was the grit gets into all the chassis members, sills, etc.

Getting it out was a bastard but leaving it in is a bad idea because it will just become a moisture trap.

I can do shot blasting at work, as long as it isn't anything too large/shitty it shouldn't be a problem. All it will cost is the price of return postage.

All the grit just fell out of the large holes left behind on mine
