Thank you! The blasting booth rental costs $150.00 for the day and all the media is provided. They also supply a supplied air hood. When the pot runs out which is often you have to shovel it to fill the pot again. It has some serious power and it would be easy to ruin panels rather quickly if you don’t know what you are doing. On my bed I stripped the bedsides with a DA and just blasted the underside an inside the bed. I did my whole Jimmy tub there and I swore I would never do it again because it is a miserable day! Funny how a couple years makes you forget!

They also have some large blast cabinets that you can use that cost $15.00 an hour. They work really good. I stripped the skins of my doors with a DA and did the rest in the cabinet and it only took about an hour for the pair
