Questions

Sandblasting FAQ

Is there a posted blasting rate near Richmond?

No Richmond shop we checked posts one. Vancouver Vapour Blast Plus in Vancouver lists vapour blasting at $130 an hour or part of an hour, with a $50 minimum.

Is vapour blasting the same as sandblasting?

No. They are different services. Ask which process suits your part and the finish you want after.

What should I send for a quote?

Send photos, sizes, weight and the metal. Say what coating is on it now and what finish you want after blasting.

Good to know

  • No Richmond shop we checked posts prices for this. The posted rate is from Vancouver and is for vapour blasting.
  • Book the finish with the blasting and ask how the shop protects bare metal.
