What type of blasting media do they use? That effects the price greatly.

dont let them do the flat panels...roof top, door sides, quarters, hood, deck lid. Only around the edges. It will cause warping on the flat parts. strip or sand it off by hand or machine. Usually is cost about 80 to 100 per hr. To do the whole car underside, inside, and around the out side panels... about 6.5 to 8 hrs.

I had my whole car blasted with Garnett media and it did not warp.
