Pricing
Rick, is that pricing for the 80# or the 40#? I believe the difference is the amount of dry ice the machine will hold. There is a significant price difference between the 2 rentals.
A couple of years ago there was a red GTO in vintage certification at MCACN. The owner had the bottom side blasted prior to the show. We discussed his car at length and he shared with me the pricing for the dry ice blasting. The owner of the restoration shop was also there. After being introduced I inquired about pricing for my COPO Chevelle. Same A-body style car and the pricing went up by $2500. Plus I would need to ship the car 1700 miles one way.
Hemmings ran an article spotlighting a company in Texas that does dry ice blasting. Listed in the article was pricing of about $3000 per vehicle.
I’m interested in learning what the process is like, what materials are needed, proper preparation of both vehicle and shop, and average days to do one car. I’d also like to hear what the pros and cons are of a novice doing the work versus someone with some experience.
Thanks for bringing this topic up. Could be some good education here whether you have the car done professionally or try and take on the job yourself.
