Why Proper Surface Preparation Matters
A high-quality finish starts with a high-quality surface. Simply applying paint or powder coating over rust, old paint, or mill scale will lead to a finish that flakes, bubbles, and fails prematurely. Our abrasive blasting service solves this by:
- Removing All Contaminants: We eliminate rust, corrosion, old paint, and other surface impurities.
- Creating an Ideal Profile: The blasting process etches the surface, creating a “profile” that the new coating can grip onto, ensuring maximum adhesion.
- Extending Longevity: A properly prepared surface is the foundation for a durable finish that will last for years.

Our Expert Blasting Process
Our team is skilled in various media blasting techniques, allowing us to choose the right abrasive and pressure for your specific project. We can provide a range of preparation from gentle Class 1 etching through to heavy-duty Class 3 preparation to meet your exact specifications and Australian Standards. We primarily utilize Garnet media in our treatments due to its controlled and gentle nature, which ensures the protection of the underlying product and enables excellent surface preparation.
Our process includes:
Assessment: We carefully inspect your item to determine the best approach, considering the material type and the current condition of the surface.
Blasting: Using professional-grade equipment in our 15m long x 5m high x 4.2m wide blast room, we apply the chosen media to the surface, stripping it back to a perfectly clean state.
Final Cleaning: After blasting, we meticulously clean the item to remove all residual dust and debris, leaving it ready for its new finish.
