Bead Blast Progress

Sorry, no pics yet because the tub still isn't back yet.

Some thought the quote I threw out there for my plastic media blast and Epoxy Prime Job was high. Well not anymore. As of today the shop is now losing money on the job as it STILL isn't done. Tomorrow will make 8 full days of blasting on the tub and all removable panels. They hope to paint tomorrow and cure over the weekend. I'm sure glad I got a fixed price quote!

Same fixed price, 1400. Yes it sounds like a lot, but as I said before when you take out about $500 in materials and then break down the per hour rate? It gets to be a pretty good deal real quick. If it has taken two guys nearly 8 days to blast this thing in a professional shop, I don't even want to know how long it would have taken me alone with stripper and a sander....

I had all my removable sheetmetal done for $500 and I primed all of it at home so I had another $150 in primer . After spending 10 hours sanding the tub floors , wheelwells and inner 1/4s , I wish I had gone ahead and gotten the whole thing done ! Media blasting is a bargain and I can't match the finished product .
