A mate of mine here in Melbourne used to have his own sandblasting business, sold up a couple of years ago. At that stage, he was charging around $120/hour but would often quote private jobs a fair way below this mark. may not be of any use to you but may give you a starting point.

i think it was 5 minutes and then the rust action would start its process on bare metal a panel beater once told me
