Wanut Blasting Cost: seriously??

I am calling around now after reviewing previous threads on this topic, and I am shocked at the quotes I am getting to have my N54 walnut blasted. Dealer quoted 5 hours labor totaling $1000 and several indy shops are $650+. Is that normal here in New England? I've seen lots of threads where e8X owners across the country are paying closer to $350. Any advice?

where ru located? I have a friend at BMW in Boston who works in service, I got a quote a while ago for like $650 if I remember correctly. Deal is, pay the tech under the table and throw my buddy some $$ on the side and he will hook it up.
