I don't know of any, but have been thinking about getting one of those trailers and starting a side business, but don't really know if there is a market for that around here

There has to be someone in the south Florida area but if you don't get any leads there is a good company in Orlando. I had Blast Off strip my old Datsun Z car down to bare metal and they did a great job. They have two booths so they start with a less aggressive plastic media in the first booth and then hit any remaining rust or body filler with aluminum oxide in the second booth. This was a full on rotisserie strip so I'm talking about every square inch of the car. There phone number is 407-648-4482.

Jeff thanks. I called them and they can do the whole car...just need to get the underside as clean as possible first...don't like the $80 per hour to scrap the under coating

I was hoping that someone had used them and give them good feed back..

How long ago did you use them?

I stripped the undercoating myself and it is an awful job. In hind site I think I would have gladly paid someone to do it. It has been a couple of years ago since they did my car but they have been around for a while so I suspect they are still good.

Aside from scaping the undercoating....How do they price a blasting job? Flat rate, hourly, material used? I've got a 62 Falcon that about ready for blasting. Sure I could give me a call but I'm just trying to see the ballpark number for now.

thanks
