If you want to extend the life of your vehicle, giving it an occasional shot blast can help. It’s a process that is often used to clear a surface ready for repairs. At White’s Bodyworks in Sussex, we’ve got over 30 years’ experience of delivering this kind of service to car, motorbike and van customers in the region.
Over time vehicles can get covered in all sorts of grease, rust, dust and dirt which can cause damage if left. If you want to prepare fresh new metal for priming and painting, shot blasting is also a key part of the process.
Just like many other garage services, blasting and cleaning require a good deal of expertise and, of course, the right equipment on site. We are able to deliver a range of shot blasting processes at White’s Bodyworks including:
We’re a garage that is able to handle new as a well as classic cars and other vehicles, for example, helping to prepare metal for new paint and restore vehicles to their former glory.
It’s important to work with a team that knows what they are doing when it comes to shot blasting and this kind of abrasive cleaning. Choosing the right method is vital as is having the appropriate training for staff who are carrying it out.
Abrasive blasting is a highly skilled undertaking and requires a deft touch, especially when dealing with delicate car or motorcycle parts. Essentially, a stream of abrasive material is propelled against the metal under high pressure. This can vary from sand to soda and which method is chosen will depend on what the material is and what the final finish is intended to be.
Abrasive blasting can be used, for example, to smooth out surfaces that have become rough over time. If you are intending to prime and paint a service, abrasive blasting is designed to clear the surface of old paint and rust. The process can also be successfully used to clean surfaces of contaminants or erosion caused by age.
The job of the shot blaster here is to make sure that they clean the surface without damaging it. The last thing you want if you own an expensive classic car, for example, is your garage choosing the wrong method of stripping the paintwork.
At White’s Bodyworks in Sussex, we have a long track record of delivering the abrasive blasting that our customers are looking for. We do this by making sure our team is fully trained as well as having the exact equipment they need and give them every option.
