Restore. Protect. Perform.

At Tri‑State Metals, we understand that every metal part is more than just raw material—it’s a component of performance, longevity, and visual appeal. Whether you’re dealing with corrosion, old coatings, or just need a top‑class finish, our combined sandblasting and powder‑coating services bring new life to your parts with precision, reliability, and high quality.

Extended Lifespan

A proper surface prep and finish will protect the part from future wear and corrosion.

Cost Savings

Less downtime, fewer replacements, fewer surprises.


Better Performance

Surfaces that are cleaned and prepped correctly result in coatings that bond better and perform longer.

Aesthetics & Brand Strength

 Clean, sharp finishes reflect the quality of your operation and standards.

Why Restore Instead of Replace?

Sandblasting

In many industrial and manufacturing environments, metal parts are subject to wear, rust, coatings peel, or surface contamination. By restoring the part instead of replacing it outright, you gain:

Precision Sandblasting Steps

Our sandblasting (abrasive blasting) service is the foundation of a great finish. Here’s how we handle it:

Material Assessment

01

We begin by evaluating the metal type and its condition. Is it mild steel, stainless, aluminum? What contaminants or buildup are present? This allows us to select the optimal abrasive media.

Abrasive Blasting

02

Using high‑pressure blasting in our enclosed booths, we remove rust, paint, scale, and any other surface contaminants. The result is a uniform, clean surface ready for the next step.

Final Inspection

03

Once blasting is complete, we inspect each part to ensure uniformity, texture, and readiness for finishing or coating.



What you gain:

  • Uniform surface texture ensures better adhesion of coatings.
  • Corrosion removal and protection—future oxidation is reduced.
  • Reduced downtime due to our efficient process.
  • Custom solutions—because different metals and applications require different approaches.

Premium Powder Coating

After we’ve cleaned and prepped the surface, it’s time for a durable finish from our powder coating services. At Tri‑State Metals we offer powder coating for everything from large orders to small custom runs.

  • Finish Consistency
    With proper prep (via sandblasting) and expert application, you achieve uniform appearance and performance.
  • Custom Flexibility
    Whether you need standard or custom colours, textures, or gloss levels—we’ve got the capability to support your specification.
  • Service‑driven                                                                                                       We treat your project as more than a job—every part is handled with precision and backed by our commitment to customer service.
