Any suggestions on a skilled shop and what a fair price would be?

The monument place here in Spartanburg charges $100 an hour including the sand. The guy there has been doing this for about 20 years and knows how to do it right. They have a BIG air supply and nozzle and can get a lot done in an hour and your all set to go to work!
If you have ANY rust what so ever you would not want to use plastic media but just in case anyone is wondering the price here is $85 and hour PLUS the blasting material. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 11 | Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to hold off on the blasting for now and repair as much metal as possible first, then get it blasted. I was going to blast first so I could see how much damage there was, but I think I'll be dealing with too much surface rust while repairing the patches...I'm short on cash and time. | | |
