I'm Looking for a shop that can blast an entire car in or near Colorado(I live in the NW portion of the state) and a ballpark figure for what they charge. I can transport easy enough just not sure where to look.  

i don't know where a shop is but they usually charge around 800- 1200. that is about the average i have found in tenn. good look. i am trying it myself.  

I'm not a big fan of media blasting. You'll have media coming out of every crack and frame hole for months (great when you're trying to paint!)...

I prefer chemical stripping. Simply apply the paint stripper to the surface, let it bubble, and scrape it off.

If you really want to get a full body clean then chemically dipping it is another option, but you have to have a bare chassis (no wiring, etc.) and it will usually take out all seam sealer, requiring you to reseal the whole car...

HTH...

I know what you mean about media coming out of every crack and hole. My old job we sand blasted the gearboxes before I had to rebuild them. It get's every where even places you think are sealed up well!

The reason I was asking about blasting is the 66 coupe I have has about 7 layers of paint and primer. My girlfriend and I along with my best friend used stripper for a lot of the paint. It worked well for most of it until the bottom 3 layers, they are really stubborn. I will check into the dipping as the car is stripped of everything now.

I need to replace both rear quarters due to previous accidents and most of the seam sealer is already removed through out the car. Their is very little rust but some body filler. Thanks for the reply!  

No problem, thanks for the progress update on your coupe. Good luck with it!

First of all, I am NOT a body man, but if you have the car dipped, won't it leave bare metal in places you can't get to to paint? ...causing future rust issues? Again just curious, because I am a mechanic-not a body man.
