Sunshine Coast Abrasive Blasting & Painting

Surface preparation is one of the most important steps in achieving a long-lasting, high-quality finish on steel components. At On The Spot Steel Fabrication on the Sunshine Coast, we use abrasive blasting to remove rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants, leaving metal surfaces clean and ready for coating or fabrication.


Our team carefully selects the right blasting technique and material to suit each project, ensuring the steel is properly prepared without damaging the structure. Abrasive blasting helps improve the adhesion and durability of protective coatings, reducing the risk of premature failure. Whether you’re working on new fabrication or maintenance, we deliver reliable surface preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is abrasive blasting and how does it work?

    Abrasive blasting is a process that uses high-pressure air or water to propel abrasive materials, like sand or steel grit, against a metal surface. This method removes rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants, leaving the surface clean and textured. Proper surface preparation through abrasive blasting improves coating adhesion and enhances the longevity of protective finishes.

  • Why is abrasive blasting important before painting steel?

    Abrasive blasting is essential before painting steel because it removes surface impurities that can prevent coatings from adhering properly. Blasting creates a clean, textured surface, allowing the paint to bond effectively and form a durable protective layer. This process reduces the risk of premature coating failure, rust, and corrosion, ensuring longer-lasting results on fabricated steel components.

  • How long does abrasive blasting and painting take?

    The time required for abrasive blasting and painting depends on the size and complexity of the project, the condition of the steel, and the type of coating system used. Surface preparation, drying, and curing times all influence the overall schedule. Small jobs may take a few days, while larger structural projects may require longer to complete properly.
