Media Blasting

Proper Preparation is Everything

It’s important to consider that your paint job is only as good as the surface preparation of the metal being painted. Preparing items for powder coating may involve cleaning, media blasting (sandblasting), chemical stripping, and other processes to remove such things as rust, old paint, oils, and mill scale. Media blasting is a fast, affordable and safe way completely strip paint, bondo, grime and most importantly, rust from your metal parts in order to provide a clean palette for coating.

Media Blasting is an excellent may to remove paint, rust and oxidation without damaging the surface of the metal. We use Glass Beads, Aluminum Oxide and Black Beauty (slag coal) in our enclosed cabinets. These abrasives have been proven to not only restore the metal to its bare metal, it leaves a surface that is excellent for our powder coating finished to adhere to. Below is a picture of a truck wheel we recently blasted. Take a look at the difference.
