whats your budget

sheet metal blasting is something to be left to 110% experts , i have had a few cars warped to hell by people that thought they knew what they were doing

prices range fom 1000-2500 for strip and seal

I have heard anything from 1000 to 2500 I would like to keep it around 1800 or less to get the whole body and underneath the chasis as well

in order to stay within your range i recomend striping the car of all mouldings glass interior and trim. the easier you make it for them the cheaper it will be.

only did parts of a car but I did them with play sand and a 20 dollar sand blasting kit from the home depot. If you do it over a tarp you can try and reuse some sand. But it does get finer so you will have to buy more. But It will be alot cheaper than the pros price. just FYI
