Default Re: Sandblasting - medium recommendations

did the last car via stripper (stinky + residue...phew !!!) and twisted wire cup brush on angle grinder (cheaper and just as fast as chemical).

This time around I thought I would go blasting. Been quoted $1200-1500 depending on how much done e.g outer only, + $ door shuts, +$ underneath, +$ engine bay.....with a 3 day turnaround.
I figured something like 20-25hrs to do it by hand, + my time + 'parts' ($200?)
Blasting looked very attractive time wise - get in and just get it all done fast.

And I'm the panel beater and spray painter, so my strip is my prep for my paint.
