Restore, clean, and protect your surfaces

Metal sandblasting services

Our professional metal sandblasting services provide the ultimate solution for rust, paint, and corrosion removal. Whether restoring industrial equipment, structural steel, or classic cars, we deliver a clean, uniform surface ready for painting or coating.

What Is Metal Sandblasting?

Metal sandblasting uses compressed air to propel abrasive media (steel grit, glass beads, aluminum oxide) against a surface. This removes rust, old paint, and contaminants while creating an “anchor profile” that ensures new coatings adhere properly and last longer.

How does sandblasting metal work?

The process blasts abrasive particles at high speed, stripping away unwanted layers quickly and effectively.

The type of abrasive media ( steel grit, glass beads, aluminum oxide) is carefully selected based on the type of metal and the desired finish. When these particles impact the surface, they effectively chip away unwanted coatings and corrosion, leaving behind a clean, uniform substrate ready for treatment.

Benefits of professional metal sandblasting

Choosing a professional service for metal sandblasting provides numerous advantages over DIY methods. It ensures safety, efficiency, and a superior quality finish that protects your investment for years to come.

  • Superior surface preparation for coatings (up to 75% better adhesion).
  • Fast and efficient on large or complex surfaces.
  • Removes 100% of rust, scale, and failed coatings.
  • Performed safely with dust containment and protective equipment.
  • Adaptable for heavy steel or delicate aluminum parts.

Applications of Sandblasting on Metal

Sandblasting metal is used across industries to extend the life of assets and prevent costly repairs. In a country where corrosion costs the economy an estimated $55 billion annually, proper surface preparation through sandblasting is not just a maintenance step. 

Sandblasting to remove paint from metal

Sandblasting metal efficiently removes paint, powder coats, and industrial epoxies. Unlike chemical or manual methods, it offers a fast, clean surface ready for refinishing.

Rust removal and surface preparation

Sandblasting metal provides complete rust removal and surface preparation, blasting away corrosion and impurities to meet SSPC standards for clean, uniform finishes.

Finishing options after sandblasting

After metal sandblasting, the surface is perfectly clean and textured for maximum adhesion, ready for protective coatings like epoxy, zinc-rich, or powder finishes.

Metal Sandblasting and Painting Near Me

Finding a reliable local provider is crucial for minimizing downtime and transportation costs. When you search for "metal sandblasting and painting near me," you are looking for a comprehensive, one-stop solution that handles the entire restoration process from preparation to final coating. A local service ensures a better understanding of regional environmental challenges, like road salt corrosion in Québec winters, and provides the convenience of accessible.

Why combine sandblasting and painting?

Combining sandblasting and painting in one service is critical for preventing flash rust. Bare metal, especially steel, can begin to oxidize in a matter of hours when exposed to humidity. By applying a primer coat immediately after sandblasting metal, we ensure the surface is sealed and protected at its cleanest state, maximizing the coating's effectiveness and guaranteeing a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant finish.

FAQ About Metal Sandblasting

Is metal sandblasting safe for all types of metal?

Yes, when performed by professionals. We adjust the abrasive type and pressure to safely and effectively treat everything from robust structural steel to softer metals like aluminum without causing warping or damage.

What does sandblasting do to metal?

Sandblasting metal removes rust, paint, and surface contaminants using high-pressure abrasives. This process restores the metal to a clean, textured finish that improves adhesion for coatings, primers, or paint and extends the lifespan of the treated surface.

Do you need to prime after sandblasting?

Yes. After metal sandblasting, applying a primer or protective coating immediately is crucial to prevent flash rust and oxidation. Epoxy or zinc-rich primers offer the best adhesion and long-term corrosion resistance.

Will rust come back after sandblasting?

Rust can reappear within hours if the metal is left uncoated. To avoid this, professionals apply a protective primer or finish right after sandblasting metal, sealing the surface against humidity and air exposure.

What are the disadvantages of sandblasting?

Improper settings or abrasive selection can damage softer materials. However, when performed with the right abrasive and professional equipment, metal sandblasting is safe, precise, and environmentally compliant.

Why combine sandblasting and painting?

Combining sandblasting and painting ensures optimal surface preparation and protection. The cleaned metal allows paint or primer to bond perfectly, creating a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that lasts for years.
