Questions

Sandblasting FAQ

What should I send for a blasting quote?

Send photos, sizes, weight, metal and quantity. Describe what is on the part now and whether it will be painted, powder coated or left bare.

Which blasting media should I request?

Ask the shop to choose media for the metal and current finish. Point out thin panels, threads, bearings and surfaces that need protection.

Can I arrange coating with the blasting?

Ask whether the shop can prime or coat the part after blasting. Confirm who handles transport and the time between preparation and finishing.

Good to know

  • Tell the blaster what finish comes next, and ask who handles it.
  • No London shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
