Surface Preparation
Every great powder coat starts with an exceptional surface. Our professional sandblasting and surface prep services remove rust, old coatings, mill scale, and contaminants — giving powder coat the clean metal bond it needs to last for decades.
Our Prep Services
We offer complete surface preparation — in-shop, for your parts before powder coating or as a standalone service.
High-pressure abrasive blasting removes rust, old paint, mill scale, and surface contaminants down to bare metal. We use multiple media types depending on the material — aluminum oxide, glass bead, steel grit, and more.
Chemical stripping for parts where mechanical blasting would damage the substrate. Effective for stripping delicate or complex-shaped metal parts that can't be blasted.
Thorough solvent degreasing before and after blasting. Oil, grease, and surface contamination prevent powder coat adhesion — we eliminate it completely.
For cast aluminum and porous alloy wheels, we pre-bake parts before coating to drive out trapped gases that cause pinholes, bubbles, and coating defects.
Precision masking of threaded areas, bearing surfaces, valve stems, lug holes, and any area that should not receive coating — done by hand with professional-grade masking tape.
In-Shop Service Only
Our sandblasting and surface prep services are performed at our shop in Tullytown, PA. We do not offer mobile or on-site sandblasting. Drop your parts off and we'll have them prepped and ready — typically same-day for smaller items.
Why Prep Matters So Much
Poor adhesion, bubbles, and peeling almost always come from inadequate surface preparation — not the powder itself.
Parts that are properly blasted and cleaned before coating last dramatically longer than those that aren't.
We sand blast every single part ourselves before coating — we never skip prep steps on your items.
