Questions
Sandblasting FAQ
Should I blast before painting?
Usually. Coating holds best on clean metal, and paint helps prevent rust, says one Chicago iron works.
Can thin sheet metal be blasted?
Ask the shop. Softer media and lower pressure protect thin parts.
Good to know
- Bare blasted steel rusts fast. Plan the coat the same week.
- Ask the shop to quote blasting and coating together.
