Media Blasting
It’s important to consider that your paint job is only as good as the surface preparation of the metal being painted. Media blasting is a fast, affordable and safe way completely strip paint, bondo, grime and most importantly, rust from your car in order to provide a clean palette for coating.
North Texas Customs has a streamlined media blasting process and the proper equipment to make stripping your car quick while keeping cost down. We are not an industrial blast house; as a complete resto/rod shop, we know how to treat your car’s panels. In fact, blasting a car first is the only way to warranty our paint jobs since we can be certain any underlying corrosion has been eliminated.

Hello:
Looking to media blast a ’65 fastback (already disassembled). Need a ballpark figure on cost. Can you do on site or do I need to flatbed the veh to your location? Once complete… do you primer? What steps need to be taken to avoid rust start while waiting on the painting process (few months)?
Looking forward to hearing back,
Rick
Rick, thanks for your inquiry and we hope we can help. We only blast in-house which leaves the huge mess associated with blasting for us to clean up. If you could arrange to have the car towed on a flatbed that would be great; we can provide a towing referral if you like. Typically, for a Mustang that is completely torn down (i.e., no glass, suspension, interior, wiring, and panels off), to mount on a rotisserie, blast all panels inside and out, blow out and prep, spray all surfaces with epoxy primer, and remove from rotisserie, it runs between $2,500 to $3k. Teardown labor (if applicable) would be additional; actual time will vary based on how many layers of paint are present, heavy bondo, undercoating, seam sealers, and amount of heavy scale. If there are any panels that will need replacing, we can skip those areas to save money. Turnaround is usually one week. We can also skip priming if you’d like to do that yourself, but it would need to be coated ASAP. Let us know if you have further questions or would like to come in. Thanks!

Hi Eddie, those cabs typically are in the 4-6hrs range. Exact time would depend on undercoatings, seam sealers, thick fillers, fiberglass patches, and if there is any “house” type of paint present (latex in particular).
Hello,
I have a 1964 Ford Ranchero Has some rust issues on the tail gate. My question is how much of the truck needs to be disassemble in order to blast the whole truck?
Thanks
Hi Dana, we suggest having the parts or car torn completely down before entering the booth. We plan to have a plastic media booth setup in the future which will allow us drive a car in, glass and all, and blast it. We would still recommend using media for any heavy rust though.
Hi I was wondering what the cost would be to media blast the frame of a 67 mustang torn down completely.? Also with and without having it painted in your shop? Thanks
Hi Briana, thank you for contacting us. We can give you a general idea on cost for the media blasting once we can ask you a few questions; a paint job has a lot of variables so that would require a little more discussion about what you are looking for as well as what is needed in terms of metal and body work. If you could please give us a call, we’d be happy to go over everything. Thanks!
Hello,
I have a 69 Camaro that is a roller without any of the sheet metal from firewall forward. Looking to get the car blasted so I can assess the rust situation. Depending on price, I might want to get the subframe also blasted.
Please advise on an estimated price.
