What is average price of Walnut blasting?
My local BMW dealer offers the service...quoted "about $800.00" and suggested I wait until 60 or 70k. I am still under 50k now. Just curious as to what others have paid.
I don't think I need it yet but plan on installing a tune, DCI and OCC and thought it might be a good idea to get that done first. Thanks |

That's the same I was quoted.... But just ended up doing a DIY with some B-12 Chem and gun brushes from Walmart.... Took me 4 1/2 hours from start to finish... So it's all about how valuable your time is

If you need to know how bad I am I could tell you about the experience changing the headlights out on my wife's Disco......let me just say that new trim parts need to be ordered and painted so probably a very expensive headlight. You won't see me posting in the DIY section...unless it is a picture of me sitting in a waiting area section with a cup of coffee.....and a lighter wallet.

$500 from a local race shop because they do it the old school way by cleaning it all by hand, not walnut blasting. Sometimes you can get lucky by a local forum member who does it. Got an estimate once for $300. Good luck as Im planning to do it now too since Im at 51k miles.

I charge $250. No reason this should take more than 3 hours, even the first time. I did mine at 37k and they were pretty gunked up.

I paid $600 including new gaskets at the stealership but I got a rental car for the day and got my car back with no hassles. Other local shops quoted $400 without changing gaskets which is about $60 in parts. So with gaskets would be about $460. The extra $140 for the rental car and piece of mind was worth it for me.
