Sand blasting is also known as abrasive blasting, which is a generic term for the process of smoothing, shaping and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles across that surface at high speeds; the effect is similar to that of using sandpaper, but provides a more even finish with no problems at corners or crannies. Sandblasting can occur naturally, usually as a result of particles blown by wind causing aeolian erosion, or artificially, using compressed air.
Sandblasting equipment typically consists of a chamber in which sand and air are mixed. The mixture travels through a hand-held nozzle to direct the particles toward the surface or work piece. Nozzles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Boron carbide is a popular material for nozzles because it resists abrasive wear well.

INFORMATION
What Is Metal Sandblasting?
As the name suggests, sandblasting is the process of using sand to make a metal surface for adhesion, bonding, molding, painting, or any other additional coating operation. It is also used to give a specific texture on the metal surface.
Sandblasting Advantages
Sandblasting is often used as a part of the finishing process, removing materials from the object to prepare its surface for coating. But what are the benefits of sandblasting certain objects or products before putting on the finishing with powder coating? Here are some advantages of using sandblasting services for your business.
Sandblasting Cleans The Surface:
One of the reasons why sandblasting is an important part of the finishing process isn’t just because it smooths the surface of the object. It cleans the surface too. Sandblasting services are a great way to remove rust, oil, and harmful contaminants from almost any kind of surface.
SPRAYPAINTING
Spray painting is a painting technique in which a device sprays coating material (paint, ink, varnish, etc.) through the air onto a surface. The most common types employ compressed gas—usually air—to atomize and direct the paint particles. Spray guns evolved from airbrushes, and the two are usually distinguished by their size and the size of the spray pattern they produce. Airbrushes are hand-held and used instead of a brush for detailed work such as photo retouching, painting nails, or fine art. Air gun spraying uses generally larger equipment. It is typically used for covering large surfaces with an even coating of liquid. Spray guns can be either automated or hand-held and have interchangeable heads to allow for different spray patterns
OUR PROJECTS
PROJECT MISSION
Spray paint typically has a sheen that, when dry, reflects light and emphasizes any surface imperfections, including scratches, dents and nicks. So, before spraying on the final coat of paint, you must sand the surface smooth and then apply at least two primer coats. And be sure to sand between each coat. You can brush on the primer, but spray primer is much quicker.
Applying a primer and then sanding is especially important when spray-painting wood because the first coat of primer will raise the wood’s grain, creating a fuzzy, rough-textured surface. Sanding the primer with very fine sandpaper—180-or 220-grit—will knock down the raised grain and leave behind a smooth surface for the next primer coat, and then finally the paint topcoat.
