Remove rust, old paint, mill scale, and corrosion from steel, iron, aluminium, and other metal surfaces to SSPC and NACE surface preparation standards. JCV Tow Hitch’s metal sandblasting specialists prepare metal for industrial coatings, protective paint systems, and powder coating — delivering the surface profile and cleanliness specification your coating requires.

Metal sandblasting is an abrasive surface preparation process that propels high-velocity abrasive media against metal surfaces to remove rust, mill scale, old paint, corrosion, contaminants, and surface oxides. The process simultaneously cleans the metal and creates a surface profile — a microscopic roughness that allows industrial coatings and protective paint systems to mechanically bond to the substrate at the level required by SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) and NACE International surface preparation standards.
At JCV Tow Hitch, our Jacksonville metal sandblasting team works with steel, structural iron, aluminium, and other metals across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. We select the media — steel shot, steel grit, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or crushed glass — based on the metal type, condition, and required surface cleanliness and profile specified by the coating manufacturer or project specification.
SP-6, SP-10, SP-5 compliant
Mill scale & corrosion eliminated
OSHA compliant
Transparent pricing, no surprises
From structural steel to ornamental iron — if it’s metal and needs rust removal or coating preparation, our certified technicians have the media and equipment for it.
New structural steel fabrications must be blasted to the specified SSPC surface profile before protective coatings are applied. JCV Tow Hitch prepares structural steel beams, columns, plates, and assemblies to SSPC SP-6 Commercial Blast through SP-5 White Metal Blast — depending on the coating system specification.
Ornamental iron gates, fences, and railings suffer rapid corrosion in Jacksonville's coastal humidity. Sandblasting removes all rust, failing paint, and scale from every curve and profile of ornamental iron work — far more thoroughly than grinding or wire brushing — leaving clean, profiled metal ready for industrial primer and topcoat.

Commercial trailers, heavy trucks, and construction equipment accumulate heavy rust and failing industrial coatings. We blast trailer frames, equipment undercarriages, dump bodies, and other heavy equipment to SSPC SP-10 Near White Blast — the standard required before industrial coating application on high-wear vehicles.

Storage tanks, pipe sections, industrial machinery, and process equipment require aggressive surface preparation to achieve the profile and cleanliness level specified by protective coating manufacturers. Our team works to customer-specified SSPC standards on industrial projects of all scales
Bridge maintenance in Northeast Florida requires periodic reblasting and recoating of steel bridge components to resist the accelerated corrosion caused by coastal salt air. JCV Tow Hitch blasts bridge steel to DOT and SSPC project specifications — meeting the compliance requirements for publicly contracted work
Aluminium, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous metals require gentler abrasive media to avoid contamination from iron particles that can cause galvanic corrosion. We use dedicated, non-contaminating media for non-ferrous work — including glass beads, aluminum oxide, and plastic blast media — preventing the cross-contamination that poor practices introduce.
We review your coating specification or determine the appropriate SSPC surface preparation standard, inspect the metal condition, and provide a written estimate detailing scope, standard, and timeline
Non-blast areas, adjacent surfaces, machinery, and environmental features are masked and protected. Blast containment meets OSHA and EPA requirements for airborne particulate and spent abrasive management.
Media is selected to achieve the required SSPC cleanliness level and surface profile (anchor pattern). Steel shot, steel grit, aluminum oxide, or other media are loaded and nozzle configuration confirmed.
Our certified blasters work systematically across the metal surface, removing all rust, scale, paint, and contamination to the specified SSPC standard — verified visually against SSPC visual standards or profile comparators.
Spent abrasive and debris are collected and disposed of responsibly. The blasted surface is inspected for compliance with the specified SSPC standard before any coating work begins.
Blasted metal must be primed within the window specified by the coating manufacturer — typically within hours in humid Jacksonville conditions. Our painting team can apply industrial primer and topcoat immediately following blast — closing the window before surface rust can return.
Results you can count on — and a team that treats your property with the same care they’d give their own.
Our technicians are trained in the specific industrial media selection, pressure settings, and SSPC/NACE surface standards required for your metal type. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring your steel, iron, or aluminum is prepared perfectly without substrate warping or damage.
We test on a small, inconspicuous area before blasting any significant surface. No surprises, no damage, no guessing.
Fully licensed and insured for every residential and commercial project in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Media disposal always meets EPA standards.
You receive a detailed written estimate before we touch anything. Line-item pricing, scope of work, and expected timeline.
Every project is backed by our written workmanship warranty. If the result doesn't match what we promised, we make it right.
For projects requiring both blasting and painting/coating, our single coordinated crew handles the full scope — eliminating scheduling gaps and coordination headaches.

Absolutely — heavy equipment, trailer frames, and truck bodies with significant rust are one of our most common metal sandblasting applications. We blast frames to SSPC SP-10 and apply industrial primer and topcoat immediately following the blast — giving your equipment a factory-fresh protective finish that lasts.
Yes. Aluminium requires non-contaminating media — glass beads, aluminum oxide, or plastic blast media — to prevent iron contamination that causes galvanic corrosion on non-ferrous surfaces. We maintain dedicated media and equipment for aluminium blasting, keeping it completely separate from ferrous metal work.
Yes. JCV Tow Hitch is a mobile blasting contractor serving Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. We bring all equipment — blast pots, compressors, media, and containment — to your site. This is often more economical than transporting large structures to a fixed blast facility.
