Sandblasting can remove paint, rust, and residue from oxidation from materials quickly and efficiently. Sandblasting can also be used to change the condition of a metal's surface, such as through removing scratches or casting marks. Sandblasting as a cleaning method has been widely used for over a hundred years.
By using an abrasive medium and pressurized air, a sandblaster quickly cleans a surface and leaves it like new. Preparation is arguably the most important part of a project. It is the foundation, and without that solid start, the rest of the project is more likely to have issues. Proper sandblasting can avoid this by creating the right texture that ensures paint and other media will adhere to the surface.
