What we do
Start your restoration with a clearer picture.
A restoration begins with knowing what you are working with. Preparing a vehicle body or component removes the old surface layer and helps establish what repairs and refinishing are needed next.
From a set of loose parts to a larger restoration, the work should fit the material and the plan for the vehicle. Tell us what is being restored, how it will be presented and what your body shop or painter needs afterward.
Applications
From individual parts to the bigger build.
The material and its condition determine suitability. These common applications help start the conversation.
Rust removal
Address surface corrosion on suitable parts, with existing metal damage assessed separately.
Frames and components
Discuss frames, wheels and detached metal components, including their size and the areas that must be protected.
Body restoration
Plan vehicle-body preparation around material thickness, previous repairs and the requirements of the next stage. Panel suitability is assessed individually.
Why preparation matters
What preparation reveals.
A clearer starting point
Reveal the underlying condition before committing to the next stage of your restoration.
Preparation that fits the build
Agree on the component, material and finish requirements instead of treating every vehicle the same way.
Better coordination
Bring the painter or body shop’s requirements into the discussion before the preparation begins.

Before you get started.
Can I request work on individual parts?
Yes, include the parts you want prepared in your request. Photos, material and dimensions help establish whether they are suitable and how the work should be presented.
Can every body panel be blasted?
Panel suitability needs an individual assessment. Thickness, shape, previous repairs and the required finish matter. Share those details before agreeing on the approach.
Do I need to disassemble the vehicle?
The required disassembly and protection depend on the job. Explain whether you have loose parts, a rolling shell or an assembled vehicle so presentation can be agreed before work starts.
Is priming or painting included?
This website describes surface preparation. Do not assume body repairs, priming or painting are included. Any additional work must be stated in the quote.
How long does automotive blasting take?
Timing depends on the vehicle, coating and agreed scope. A useful estimate needs project details first; there is no single duration that fits every restoration.
