Media Blasting
What is Media Blasting and how does it work?
Media blasting is a fast and economical approach for removing paint and rust. Layers of paint that would take days or weeks to remove by sanding simply vaporize at the end of our blasting nozzle.
Blasting uses a large volume of compressed air to pressurize the media in a hopper and then pushes it through the gun's nozzle onto the part's surface to remove paint and expose a bare metal surface.
How much does media blasting cost?
Cost is determined by the amount of time spent blasting. Give us a call to discuss your specific project and we'll be sure to give you the most competitive pricing in town.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Small items like brackets and suspension components can be blasted within a day, while larger items can take about a week to complete. Give us a call to discuss your deadline requirements.
What type of media do you use?
We understand the importance of using the correct blasting media and constantly evaluate the best media and technique to allow for the fastest and safest blasting. Our garnet abrasive is safe on everything from steel beams to aluminum brackets and will never jeopardize the integrity of the part. Correct pressure, distance, angle, gun motion and operator experience are even more important factors than media composition.
What about soda blasting?
Even though we occasionally receive inquiries about soda blasting, we distance ourselves from soda as it leaves a caustic residue that can cause problems in the finish. While it may remove paint and clean up light surface rust; soda, plastic, or shells will not remove heavy rust or plastic body filler.
Equipment Capacity
Our blasting room was designed to handle restoration projects. With a total depth of 20' and over 14' wide we can blast just about anything that comes in through the door.
The combination of professional equipment and a good understanding of metal behavior result in a damage-free media blasting job that will exceed your expectations.
