Ok just got a new van which has had all the work done.Paint Job is not bad but I would like to redo it.(Next Summer I expect).

Has anybody done a complete shot blast and if so what sort of money am I looking at.

Cheers

I had my bare shell sand blasted for £150. You need to have the car totally stripped ideally as sand gets everywhere.

where did u get it done for £150 ?


i have just got a quote from a company called Marawise who are based in Coventry for £250.
This will get shell, 2 doors, boot and bonnet shotblast followed by a coat of preventative primer.

Just for your info there is a compnay in Wolverhampton called SPL who will chemically dip mini shells for £700.


I have been told its best to go to recommended mini shotblaster as they can be a bit more delicate.

Thanks for that.£150 sounds a good price but Nottingham is a bit far for me.(Surrey).
