Sandblasting smooth out uneven surfaces before painting

Sandblasting is a versatile pre-painting procedure. It is applicable on a large variety of domestic and industrial surfaces. 

Sandblasting removes grease and other impurities

Sandblasting is particularly helpful if your equipment has oil, grease, or grime accumulation. Manual cleaning helps remove some grease. Yet, professional sandblasting services are helpful to wipe off stuck-on grease and oils.

Sandblasting does not involve washing surfaces with harsh chemicals. It saves a lot of effort.

It means that where conventional cleaning processes may take several hours, sandblasting is a quick fix.

Why is Sandblasting a necessary surface prep before Painting

Professional painting experts always recommend including proper surface prep before painting it. But what's the reason behind it?

When you coat a surface with paint, it fails to adhere if the substrate is not smooth. In the presence of impurities, the paint or finishing coat will come off earlier than expected. Thus we can say that ignoring prep finish before painting is not a great idea.

Perfect surface prep helps improve the look and durability of your equipment.

What is Sandblasting Surface Prep?

Sandblasting and abrasive blasting usually refer to the same process. Abrasive blasting is a wider term in which a variety of abrasives are used.

It is to note that each abrasive has its own unique set of physical and chemical properties. These properties will impact the final results of this process.
