Get Rid of Rust and Old Paint for Good

Painting over rust only hides it for a while. Rust keeps spreading under a new finish until it bubbles and flakes through. The fix is to get all of it off first, and sandblasting is the most thorough way to do that. At Perry's Powder Coating in Kansas City, we strip rust, old paint, and failing powder coat back to clean, bare metal so the next finish actually lasts.

What We Strip

  • Surface rust, scale, and corrosion
  • Old paint, primer, and undercoating
  • Chipped or peeling powder coat
  • Patio furniture, railings, gates, and decorative iron
  • Trailer, truck, and equipment frames
  • Wheels, brackets, and machinery parts

Sandblasting vs. Chemical Stripping and Grinding

Chemical strippers struggle with powder coat and leave residue that has to be cleaned off. Grinders and wire wheels are slow and miss pits, welds, and inside corners. Sandblasting gets into all of those places at once and leaves a clean, textured surface that new coatings grip well.

What Happens After Rust Removal

Bare steel starts to flash rust quickly after blasting, so it needs protection soon. Most customers have us powder coat parts right after stripping. Powder coating is tougher than spray paint, and every coating job comes with our 1-year finish warranty. If you'd rather paint or finish it yourself, we can hand it back as bare metal. Just plan to prime it right away.

Sandblasting Questions

Can you remove rust from badly pitted metal?

Sandblasting removes the rust from inside pits, which is what stops it from coming back. Deep pitting stays visible as texture. We'll tell you up front if a part is too far gone to be worth refinishing.

Can you strip old powder coat?

Yes. Old or failing powder coat can be blasted off so the part can be recoated.

Do I have to get it powder coated after?

No, but bare steel rusts quickly, so it needs a primer, paint, or powder coat soon. Most customers have us coat it in the same visit.
