What can you sandblast?
Some of the most common sandblasted items are cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Sandblasting can remove rust, paint, and grime from the surface of a vehicle, leaving it looking like new. It can also be used to remove graffiti from buildings, sidewalks, trains, and other surfaces.
Sandblasting can also restore the surface of machinery. With your equipment being constantly exposed to corrosive and natural elements, it can cause damage. Keep your machinery free from rust and corrosion with a sandblast treatment. At Revolution Paint & Panel, we have a modern and furnished sandblasting booth complete with BlastTec equipment.
