If you have the space to have one sitting around, make one. I did and just copied and adjusted google finds to suit. But it takes up space which I lack and I hardly ever use it. Mine probably cost ~$200-$300 to build (long time ago now), which included MDF, garnet, a bathroom extractor/light setup, sand blast gun and other bits and bobs.

looking at $240-ish/hour down here......unpainted


If you are not in a big hurry for the bits many owner operated places will chuck them in with a larger job or between big jobs. Seems the cheapest way if you are happy to wait and can speak to the owner. I had the whole underside and inside of a car done that way.
