June 16, 200321 yr comment_41040 If you have blasting done,get it in writing that they will not warp your parts, i recently had a shop herein NC blast sevral parts from my 76 280, they did a great job on everything except the hood, it is warped so bad that I can see the braces through the top of the hood, from now on I think I will stick with chemical methodsif possible, best of luck Adam Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/6397-prices/#findComment-41040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 16, 200321 yr comment_41044 Plastic - Not GlassGlass media is too aggressive. Plastic media blasting is the way to go. You don't get the warping. This will only attack the paint, bondo and leaded areas. It won't touch the rust. That part is for you. :mad:$400 to $600 for plastic blasting a complete stripped down Z is a good deal considering all the time and the mess created if youj do it.

June 16, 200321 yr comment_41045 I'm about to dip my little beauty because I think blasting is too radical. I have blasted cars before and blasting can easily pit the metal. Will be posting my dip experiences in the near future. The last time I did a major paint job and body work was in 1992 and I paid $4700. The car was stripped to rolling chassis and sanded to bare metal; top side with minor floor and frame work. I was told the other day to expect to pay in the $4700 range just for the paint job. I believe this is a business of "you get what you pay for"and since I am expecting stunning results, so am I expecting to pay a stunning price. I'm in Florida also and will visit a place in Wauchula called "Revivations" next weekend. They came highly recommended from my restoration friends in Naples.
