Hi all!!
Well this weekend I am hoping to begin the tear down on my car. After it is torn down (which will take a couple of weekends I am sure) I would like to get the car media blasted... Can you do that home?? or will it make a huge mess?? I am also wondering how much a body shop would charge but I really didint know if there is a decent one in the south Jersey area? Does anyone know of one??? |

define 'media' ...
if you mean "sand" - don't do it. you will never, ever get it all back out and your car will 'scrunch' forever. i recall the 356 guys talking about NJ body shops but i don't know them offhand. (practically, tho - NJ is a pretty small state...) CO2 blasting has potential - check the yellow pages under 'aircraft painting.' depending on what's on there now, what kind of media, and whether you're talking about just the exterior or a complete all-access stripping, i'd guess you could have it done in the $750-$1000 range. practically, there is no way to even begin this at home - unless you already the 10+HP multi-stage air compressor and the protective gear. personally, i'd call Dan Petchel in NJ, or Bruce Baker in Collegeville, PA and ask for recommendations. AFAIK neither of those guys has ever been on this list, although Dan shows up on Rennlist from time to time... |
