Sand Blasting Services
Professional abrasive blasting for surface preparation, rust removal, and restoration on metal, concrete, and more in Indianapolis.
Clean Down to Bare Metal.
Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any lasting finish. At Aztec WFR Inc, our sandblasting services strip rust, old paint, mill scale, and contaminants down to clean bare metal — giving powder coating, paint, and protective coatings the best possible surface to bond to.
Our Blasting Process
Assessment
We evaluate the part, material type, and desired finish profile to select the right abrasive media and pressure settings.
Masking & Prep
Threads, bearings, and sensitive areas are masked off to protect them from abrasive media during the blasting process.
Abrasive Blasting
High-pressure abrasive media is propelled across the surface, removing rust, paint, scale, and contaminants to the specified profile.
Inspection & Handoff
Parts are inspected for complete coverage and cleanliness, then immediately prepped for coating or returned to the customer.
Blasting Media We Use
Steel Grit & Shot
Aggressive media for heavy rust, thick coatings, and large structural steel — leaves a strong anchor profile for coatings.
Aluminum Oxide
Hard, sharp abrasive ideal for etching and profiling steel, aluminum, and stainless for powder coating adhesion.
Glass Bead
Produces a smooth, bright satin finish without removing base material — great for cleaning and light surface prep.
Garnet
Low-dust, environmentally friendly abrasive that delivers a consistent surface profile on steel and other metals.
What We Blast
Why Sandblasting?
Maximum Coating Adhesion
A properly blasted surface gives coatings up to 3x better adhesion than wire brushing or chemical stripping alone.
Complete Rust & Scale Removal
Reaches into pits, seams, and corners that grinders and wire wheels can't — removing all corrosion down to bare metal.
Extends Coating Life
Coatings applied over a blasted surface last significantly longer, reducing maintenance and recoating costs.
Works on Any Shape
Abrasive blasting reaches complex geometries, welds, and tight spaces that mechanical prep methods miss.
Blast + Coat Combo
Get the best results by combining sandblasting with our powder coating service. We handle both in-house — parts go straight from the blast cabinet to the coating booth with no delay, no contamination, and no extra handling.
