We've invested in serious equipment because we believe in doing things right. If you need to stop rust now, we are ready to help.
It’s
important to consider that your paint job is only as good as the
surface preparation of the metal being painted. Media blasting is a
fast, efficient, affordable and safe way to completely strip paint,
body filler, grime and most importantly, rust from your car in order to
provide a clean palette for coating.
We are car people and know how to treat metal. Finding a lack of local resources in DFW
to accommodate our own needs for blasting, we’ve been doing it in-house
for some time now at the shop and have been fortunate enough to be able
to enhance our setup with some major equipment upgrades.
Blasting
cars and parts ourselves allows us to help out the do-it-yourself-er as
well as warranty the paint we do since we know exactly what we are
working with. We use fine-particle garnet & aluminum oxide media
(not heavy coal slag or sand) so there are no chemicals or harmful
particulate matter.
Our large blast room can handle any size car you can bring; our
professional equipment and low psi/high volume blasting technique, with
an expert understanding of metal behavior, ensures damage-free results.
We also offer auto twirler hook-up to reach every nook.
Once blasted, we will thoroughly air blast to remove any remaining
grit. Our complete paint shop can then apply any type of primer/epoxy
you want to prevent new rust. Want to take the next step? We've done
hundreds of panel replacements and are not scared of major surgeries to
simple patch panels. We also offer award-winning paint jobs using our
PPG mixing rack.
Conveniently located minutes from 190 / Bush Tollway, 75 / Central Expy, and Hwy 30

A quick note on soda blasting: Many people suggest using soda blasting as an alternative to media blasting. We distance ourselves from soda due to the fact that it leaves
a caustic residue that can cause problems in the paint down the road.
While it may remove paint, primer and clean up light surface rust, soda
WILL NOT REMOVE the heavy rust and plastic body filler present on most
auto restoration projects, again leaving your car vulnerable to future
paint problems. Read the Southern Polyurethanes epoxy tech sheet for
where they warn explicitly against soda blasting under primer:
http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/Tech%20Sheets.htm
(click "Epoxy Primer") - remember, a problem in the first stage of your
restoration can rear its ugly head later in terms of headache, time and
money. Stick with media blasting and save yourself the worry.
