Cleaning up an Aluminium mast

Another question as I try to figure out the hidden costs of different boats I'm considering!

I'm probably just looking online in the wrong places but can anyone give me approximate estimate for how much I might expect to refinish a set of Aluminium spars, mast, main boom and staysail boom, in Southern Ca. I'm guessing the work involved will be:

1) Demasting
2) Stripping the current paint and oxidization (sand blasting?)
3) Recoating (suggestions here welcome!)
4) Rerigging - would think that this would be a good time to throw some new shrouds and stays on too.

The boat is a 38' cutter (other wise in quite spiffy condition ).

Thanks in advance!
