Cost for media blast
Going to get my 69 Camaro media blasted inside and out. This will be the front sheet metal, the body minus the subframe/engine/trans, and the inside.
I was told 10 hours at 250 an hour. The hours seem to be about right but the cost seems a bit high to me. It is Long Island, NY...but 250 and hour?

I paid $900 for Nova body tub, one door, and subframe. Included epoxy primer too.

Pretty much what I was thinking... The car is at a shop and they outsource the media blasting, will tell them I will call around to get a better price if that is what it takes.

I've been quoted $2000 to do plastic media inside and out my 70 challenger here in Dallas. I ended up going with a soda/salt type alternative for $900. Couldn't find many plastic media people at all, much less a cheaper one. Maybe if it is plastic media that could have something to do with the price?

I've checked locally for my car on just the shell alone, and the quote was over 1500.. thats from 3 different places within a 75 mile radius. needless to say, I haven't had it done yet, and at those prices, I probably wont. I'll be looking into other places even if I have to travel a bit....

Hi my name it Trinity and i own Elite Media blasting and Refinishing in Jackson Tn. Here in Tn I charge $100hr and to do the complete car inside and out and generally takes around 9-12 hrs to finish including subframe and suspension. I would say shop around for a reputable company in your area that specializes in automotive media blasting. Asking for a portfolio of some of there work wouldn't hurt either. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks
