How much for soda blasting

[brooklynporsche]

I was quoted today about $1000 to soda blast my 1981 Porsche 911 targa I wanted to know if that was about right?

Thanks

I have been somewhat researching prices on soda blasting and found prices from $800 to $1,500.

The $1,500 were for larger cars.

Maybe somebody else will let us know what they pay/charge in their area for a 911 blast.

I was thinking it would be about $500
Thanks kycarguy 935

1000 dollars is an ok price . we just had a countach blasted for 1050 dollars . we have about 3 cars soda blasted a year and depending on how much paint is on the car they cost from 700 to 1200 dollars to do .

where do you get it done?

ct.soda or billings are some of the better ones . i should add we only soda blast aluminum and fiborglass cars . if its an all steel body car we use plastic pellets for a media .

962porsche are you saying that soda blasting isn't good for my 1981 porsche? How far are you from New York?

[962porsche]

NO i'm just saying that its alittle cheaper to have an all steel body car blasted with plastic media . the reason we soda blast fiborglass and aluminum is that it ever ez on the substraight . an all steel body car can handle plastic media with out warping the panels and the avarage cost is about 500 to 900 dollars . depending on what kind and how much paint is on the car . would that be NYNY ? then about 1 1/2 hours . do you know were RT 91 starts or ends depending if your headed north or south .

Got it now. I was quoted yesterday $800 to soda blast the entire car I forgot the name of the place but it's in Oak Ridge NJ. 1 1/2hour that a hike especially when I'll have to rent a uhaul. Thanks 962porsche. Ist he plastic media as effective?

[962porsche]

i don't go to them to get car blasted they come to my shop . so yes i would not want to tow a car up here to get is blasted .
