In my area (Connecticut) I know that many body shops contract this work out,
raising the cost to the consumer. There are a number of shops specializing
in this work, and one I know of charges by the hour, about $50 an hour the
last time I had some pieces done. Businesses that seem to be getting into
this work are cemetery monument companies: it appears that the basic
sandblast equipment is very similar. The guy I use is in both businesses,
starting out in the monument business. He is in Wallingford, Connecticut,
if you're at all interested, about an hour and a half from Poughkeepsie.
