The issue as I see it with sand/media blasting is more than
"how much does it cost". I think it should be looked at from
the big picture view.
You need to ask your self are you just going to do this once?
If so then yeah send it to someone. But think about it first
Now you'll need a trailer, do you buy, rent, barrow. Then haul
it to the sand blaster and haul it to the painter. In this
scenario it's easier to pay the 5k and let the pro's do the
whole job.
More than once?
Now you need equipment and a place to do the work. You won't
need a trailer you get it keep the equipment you buy for other
projects and it's a lot cheaper than paying someone else to do
it. Maybe not as good, buy hey, now you've got the "stuff" to
do it again! Oh, and did I mention you also get the mess?
