Whom did you use for blasting? What was the cost?

airstrip in richmond.

cant remember the exact cost. $600-$800 for the shell, hood, 2 repro heater channels and 2 12\"x16\" peices. thats approximately 1/2 a bug so double the price for the whole thing. (fender, doors, lid).

2 stage, walnut shell and then sand.

really nice folks that that do a thorough job and are familiar w/ vw's. (no warpy).

when i asked Jerry to do a bug he told me about 800ish for a whole bug with doors, fenders, hood complete.

when they did my friends GTI, i took it down there (the motor cought fire) so we had the car sandblasted from the firewall forward. we paid $180 for that. they did an amazing job, didnt miss any spots.
