Sandblasting & Surface Prep

Rust removal by sandblasting and grinding — any and all surface prep before a drop of primer goes on.

The Detail

What This Work Involves

Coating failure is almost never a paint problem. It is a prep problem. If mill scale, chlorides, grease or flash rust are still on the steel when the primer goes down, the system will fail no matter what you spray over it.

That is why every Gringo's Industrial job starts with prep. We degrease, sandblast, power tool clean and grind to the profile the coating system calls for, feather every edge, and treat surfaces with the specific products the substrate needs before priming.

We can perform prep as a standalone scope — for customers who handle their own finish coats — or as the first phase of a full refurbishment. Either way, the steel is turned over clean, profiled and ready.
