Sandman in Abbotsford is very reasonable (actually friggin cheap!) and you don't have to do it. It's a terrible job & it'll take you longer than a pro too. We did a pan (never again), as it cost us more to do it ourselves (after sand and rental), than having the Sandman do it.  ;)

:D Only if you are doing a small item.......You could do your whole car but the amount of sand you would use in the 40 or 50 hours of sandblasting it woild take you.......not to mention a new copressor when your done....have it done with a pressurized unit.  In the long run much cheaper B)
