Living in a coastal climate, we know rust is inevitable, and we're here to make surface preparation simple and efficient.
They offer both wet and dry sandblasting depending on what you're stripping: - Dry blasting removes heavy rust, paint, and corrosion aggressively—ideal when you need the surface to stay dry - Wet blasting minimizes dust and works better on delicate surfaces - Mobile unit comes to you (no hauling heavy parts to the shop)
Common applications: automotive frames and wheels, engine components, industrial equipment, boat hulls, trailers, outdoor furniture, and restoration projects.
Full coating setup handles pieces up to 70" in size with a three-stage process available (primer, base coat, clear coat) for maximum durability and custom metallic finishes.
What lasts longer than traditional paint: - Resists chipping, fading, corrosion, and UV damage - Years longer lifespan than standard paint - Custom color matching available (glossy, matte, metallic, textured)
Typical projects: automotive and motorcycle parts, metal railings, fences, gates, toolboxes, industrial equipment, bicycle frames, outdoor furniture.
Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating system designed for extreme durability, heat resistance, and chemical protection. Best suited for: - Firearms and tactical gear - Engine and exhaust components (headers, turbo housings) - Knives, tools, and outdoor equipment - Wear-resistant industrial parts - High-heat applications
