Roland speculated:
Around Southern Calif, so far as I have found, sand
blasting like that would run closer to $30 per item, rather than per
truckload -- maybe $15 each if you dicker. Plastic media blasting
costs more.
Roland, I suggest you check into that . . . Don't ASK how much for one
item . . .
you're getting into their minimum charge "mindset". Ask their hourly and
minimum charges . . . then gather up enough parts (and friends parts) to
make it worthwhile.
At the rates you mention, my batch of parts would have cost about $900 per
hour!
If I thought they can charge that much, I'd put in about 30 "Blasting R US"
businesses in California next week!
