I paid 350.00 for a bare frame ready to paint. Well worth it in view of time and experience.

Blasted my own at the DIY'er blasting yard in town,I think their rate was 65.00/hr or so(Remember,this is Alberta,so EVERYTHING is ridiculously expensive!).Yard closed down for the day before I finished, the frame alone was about 75% done after a little over an hour or so,it's safe to say it would take around two to two and a half hours to do a thorough job on everything.It is a pretty miserable task,I would recommend paying the pros to do it,IMHO saving a hundred bucks or so just ain't worth the aggravation.
