Media Blasting

# Why Media Blasting is Essential

A premium finish is only as good as the surface underneath it. Before powder coating or applying any high-performance finish, the item to be coated must be completely cleaned of dirt, paint, rust, oils, damaged plating, and corrosion. Our Media Blasting service is the ultimate heavy-duty solution to achieve this.

Media blasting provides deep cleaning of the part or surface being prepared. By blasting specialized abrasive media at high velocity, it completely strips away stubborn contaminants that washing or chemical cleaning alone cannot remove.

# Creating the Perfect “Tooth” for Coating Adhesion

Beyond just cleaning, media blasting serves a critical structural purpose: it creates a specific surface profile or “tooth.” This microscopic texture acts like an anchor, drastically enhancing the mechanical bonding between the raw metal and the new coating. This process ensures that your Powder Coating or Cerakote adheres perfectly, prevents peeling, and helps to provide a more uniform, flawless finished appearance.

# The Benefits of Our Media Blasting Service

• Deep Contaminant Removal: Eliminates heavy rust, scale, old paint, and deeply embedded oxidation.

• Maximum Coating Longevity: Creating a surface “tooth” extends the life of your powder coat by preventing under-film corrosion.

• Uniform Surface Finish: Smooths out minor surface imperfections, scratches, and welds, creating a perfectly even canvas.

• Versatile Media Options: We carefully match the abrasive media (such as glass bead, aluminum oxide, or steel grit) to the specific metal type to prevent any damage to your parts.

# Ideal Applications (What We Media Blast)

• Automotive Restoration: Car frames, chassis, suspension components, floor pans.

• Heavy Iron & Steel: Architectural gates, fences, structural steel, industrial brackets.

• Marine Equipment: Boat trailers, anchors, and heavily corroded marine hardware.

• Restoration Projects: Cast iron cookware, antique metal furniture, and machinery.

Don’t compromise on the prep work. Ensure your coating lasts a lifetime!
