If your going to get blasting done i would only have the areas that you can see the rust in, then use paint stripper on the rest of the car, so the panels dont get warpped.

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Red at metalprep in Slacks Creek is great. Slow but great. He was a panelbeater before he went in to sandblasting and has done kombis before.

Another nod for Red. Again, he might take that bit longer sometimes, but it's well worth the wait. He also won't spin you any bullsh#t about the job.

Red's hourly rate is about $120. Steep, but you get a professional job. And he doesn't take longer than he has to. My Beetle shell and pan set me back $1000, but there is not one single warped panel.

Each job is different, so it's hard to quote on the bus. Either way, there's a cost involved in getting this sort of thing done.
