Classic car body shells stripped to bare metal in a restoration shop

Restorations · Cars · Boats · Bikes · Trailers

YOU FOUND IT. WE'LL TAKE IT BACK TO METAL.

Classic cars, boat hulls, bike frames, vintage trailers — stripped of paint, rust, and powder coat without heat, so thin panels never warp. Drop it off, or we'll pick it up.

The problem

HEAT IS WHAT RUINS RESTORATIONS.

Dry sandblasting builds friction heat — and heat ripples hoods, roofs, and door skins. That's how a $5,000 project becomes a $15,000 one. Our process is water-cooled: no heat, no warping, no panel damage. Fine media lifts paint, filler, and rust out of every seam and curve, leaving clean bare metal that shows you exactly what you're working with — every patch of rot, every old repair, honestly revealed before you spend a dollar on bodywork.

No-warp panel stripping

Hoods, roofs, quarters — stripped to bare metal with zero heat distortion. The foundation of a straight respray.

Marine & hull cleaning

Anti-fouling paint and oxidation off fiberglass and aluminum hulls without harming gel coat.

Frames, rims & small parts

Powder coat off rims, rust off motorcycle frames, grease off engine blocks — precision media for delicate pieces.

Questions

WHAT RESTORERS ASK US.

Will you warp my hood or roof skin?

No — this is the exact problem our process exists to solve. Water-cooled blasting makes no friction heat, so even 60-year-old thin sheet metal stays flat. It's the difference between media blasting and the sandblasting horror stories you've read on forums.

What about body filler and old repairs?

Blasting strips filler and reveals every old repair honestly — which is what you want before bodywork. You'll see exactly what you bought.

Do I need to disassemble everything first?

The more you strip it down, the more complete the result — but we work with rollers, shells, and assembled pieces all the time. Send photos and we'll tell you what prep is worth doing.
