St. Augustine Sandblasting delivers expert metal sandblasting services for residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Northeast Florida. Our mobile sandblasting unit removes rust, corrosion, old paint, mill scale, and deteriorated coatings from vehicles, trailers, boats, structural steel, tanks, and industrial equipment — stripping metal surfaces down to clean bare metal and preparing them for the highest-quality protective coatings. We serve St. Augustine, FL and all of Northeast Florida — coming directly to your location.
Florida’s coastal environment, salt air, and year-round humidity create some of the most aggressive metal corrosion conditions in the United States. Surface rust, if left untreated, penetrates deeper into the metal over time — ultimately compromising structural integrity. The only effective solution is to remove rust completely and apply a protective coating system over a properly prepared surface.
The Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) — the industry authority on surface preparation — defines metal surface cleanliness standards including SSPC-SP6 (Commercial Blast Clean) and SSPC-SP10 (Near-White Blast Clean). Our metal sandblasting service achieves any required SSPC cleanliness grade, delivering the surface condition your coating manufacturer specifies for full warranty coverage and maximum corrosion protection.
Our sandblasting process also creates the correct surface anchor profile — measured in mils — required for mechanical bonding of protective coatings, as defined by NACE International (now AMPP) surface preparation standards.
Classic car and vehicle restoration begins with a completely clean metal surface. Our automotive sandblasting service strips rust, old body filler, primer, and paint from vehicle bodies, frames, chassis, floor pans, engine bays, and individual panels — exposing clean bare metal ready for bodywork, priming, and painting. Our mobile service means we come to your garage, shop, or restoration facility — eliminating the need to transport your prized vehicle.
Trailers, flatbeds, utility trailers, farm equipment, and heavy machinery accumulate heavy rust and corrosion in Florida's humid, salt-air environment. Our high-powered sandblasting service strips these large items completely to bare metal — fast and thoroughly — preparing them for rust-inhibiting primer and protective topcoats.
Boats and marine vessels face the most aggressive corrosion environment of all. Our marine sandblasting service removes rust, old antifouling bottom paint, gel coat buildup, and marine growth from steel and aluminum hull surfaces. We also blast boat trailers, marine structures, and dock components. Proper marine surface preparation is critical for the performance of antifouling coatings and for long-term hull protection in saltwater environments.
Construction projects, building frames, bridges, and structural steel components require thorough surface preparation before protective coating application. Our structural steel sandblasting service achieves the SSPC surface preparation grades required by your coating manufacturer — ensuring full warranty coverage and long-term corrosion protection for your structural steel investment.
Industrial tanks, pressure vessels, processing equipment, and heavy machinery require complete coating removal and surface preparation before refurbishment or recoating. Our industrial metal sandblasting service handles any scale of industrial project, achieving the precise surface cleanliness grade required for industrial-grade coating systems.
Yes. We use media type and pressure settings calibrated specifically for automotive sheet metal — delivering a clean bare metal surface without warping thin panels. Our technicians are experienced with automotive sandblasting and treat every vehicle with the care it deserves.
Our sandblasting removes all surface rust and corrosion, achieving the SSPC surface cleanliness grade you require. However, if rust has pitted deeply through the metal, we will identify those areas during the blasting process and advise on the next steps.
Bare metal should be primed as soon as possible after sandblasting — ideally within the same day — to prevent flash rusting, especially in Florida’s humid environment. We advise on specific coating timing as part of every job completion.
