Bring your classic parts back to bare metal with tailored blasting — cleaner, safer, and more efficient when paired with laser.
Powerful, Versatile Surface Preparation for Classic Parts
At Bang On Blasters, our media blasting services are tailored to clean, strip, and prepare vintage car and motorcycle parts for painting, powder coating, polishing, or full restoration. Using a variety of abrasive materials, we deliver the right level of aggression for each job — from tough rust removal to gentle surface keying.
What Is Media Blasting?
Media blasting (also known as abrasive blasting) involves propelling an abrasive material against a surface under pressure to clean it or create a uniform texture. We use a wide range of blast media, including:
- Sand
- Shot
- Glass bead
- Walnut shell
- Corn cob
Each material is chosen based on the part’s condition, material type, and the finish required.
Laser Cleaning + Media Blasting = Smarter Restoration
For many jobs, especially those involving heavily contaminated or delicate parts, we use laser cleaning as a pre-treatment. This offers several major benefits when followed by media blasting:
✅ Lower Blasting Pressure
Laser cleaning removes thick grime, grease, or paint first — allowing us to blast at reduced air pressure, which is gentler on parts, especially intricate or soft metal components.
✅ Reduced Environmental Impact
Lower pressure means less compressed air is used, resulting in lower electricity consumption and smaller carbon footprint.
✅ Extended Media Life
Clean surfaces from laser treatment mean the blasting media lasts longer, reducing material waste and saving on replacement costs.
✅ Less Dust, Better Control
With less aggressive blasting needed, there’s significantly less dust generated, reducing the need for extensive dust extraction and improving working conditions.
Applications of Media Blasting
- Media blasting is ideal for preparing or restoring:
- Chassis components and brackets
- Engine parts and covers
- Alloy wheels and hubs
- Suspension arms and springs
- Vintage tools and accessories
- Painted or rusted surfaces needing full strip-down
Whether it’s a light bead blast to refresh a surface or a heavy-duty strip for a full respray, we choose the right media and method for each individual part.
Custom Surface Prep for Every Project
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. At Bang On Blasters, we assess every item and, where needed, combine media blasting with:
- Laser cleaning for precise pre-cleaning
- Vapour blasting for a smooth, satin finish
- Final polishing or coating
This results in better finishes, longer-lasting coatings, and safer treatment of your valuable vintage components.
