What is Sandblasting?
Sandblasting is a term for the process of smoothing and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles (sand, silica) across the surface at high speeds; much like using sandpaper, but provides a more even finish with no problems at corners or crannies.

Why do you need Sandblasting?
When painting, you don't want to trap dust, dirt, or bubbles in a previous layer of paint, or other imperfections under the new layer of paint. By sandblasting your parts, or machinery, all imperfections, paint, coatings, and rust are knocked loose, and can then be easily cleaned off, creating an incredibly smooth surface for a new layer of paint. Sandblasting is also the ideal way to prepare parts for Powder Coating.

B&B Painting is proud to offer one of the most versatile sandblasting operations in the Twin Tiers area. We can handle any size job, from a D10 Bulldozer, or Dump Truck box, to car frames, and trailers, down to lawnmower decks or antique Milk Cans. We'll do it all. Sandblasting is one of the best ways to prepare a surface for many types of finishing. Whether you want to remove thick scaled on rust from an old truck frame, or gently prep your vintage wheels for paint or powder coating, B&B has several different types (grits) of sand to choose from, and will choose the proper sand and procedures to get the job done. With a 300lb. capacity sandblaster, we can offer more continuous time on the job without the need to stop and refill the sand as often. Every job done at B&B is sandblasted, then sealed with an Epoxy Primer before the final coat of paint. If you'd like more information on Sandblasting and how B&B can help you with your needs just contact us and we'll gladly help you with your project.
