What is Car Shot Blasting?

Shot blasting is an effective way to strip away paint, rust, and other debris from the surface of your cars empty body shell or chassis (as well as steel and alloy wheels).

By directing a pressured stream of abrasive material at the car body, we remove old paint and surface rust, leaving a clean, profiled surface ready for painting. This is ideal for customers looking to have their car prepared for a bare metal respray, or vehicle bodyshops getting ready to perform a bare metal respray.

To make sure that the car is ready to be shot blasted, make sure you remove all parts that don’t want to be shot blasted, such as drivetrain, lights, glass, bumpers and trim. We’ll then move the car body shell into our self-contained blasting room, where it is secured in place to prevent movement during the blasting process.

Once securely in place we’ll carefully start to shot blast the car body to remove any rust and paint, and to create an even profiled finish. Once blasting is complete, we’ll blow the car down to remove as much dust and debris as possible.

Why should you get your Car Shot Blasted?

If you’re looking to clean up your car body for a bare-metal respray, looking to restore your classic car, then our car shot blasting service is a fantastic way to strip away the build up of rust and grime, and to remove existing paint.

By carefully firing abrasive material at the car we can strip away everything problematic and leave a smooth even finish which cane be used as the basis for our paint work. This means everything is done by Peacock Prestige, unlike other restoration companies who may send your vehicle to third-parties for certain jobs.

Shot blasting is much more forgiving on vehicles that have had filler repairs in the past, unlike acid-dipping which can give devastating results. This way we can properly identify the imperfections in the bodywork and figure out the best methods for moving forward with the restoration, keeping our customers’ budgets in mind.

Car Shot Blasting Process

Our sister-company have been shot blasting classic cars for over 25 years. Local to our Peacock Prestige bodyshop is our top of the range blast room, which allows us to use steel grit to blast clean anything that fits inside. Whilst restoring your vehicle we can strip components down and send them for shot blasting before re-painting.

Once in the facility, our team of Shot Blasting Operatives are on hand to use and adjust the specialist equipment to deliver the best possible results for your vehicle components. As a renowned classic car bodyshop, we are well experienced in stripping and preparing vehicle bodywork for classic car restoration.

Once completed, the components are returned to our Paint Technicians for final preparation before heading for paint. This car shot blasting service is ideal for items such as suspension components, brake drums, axles and engine rocker covers amongst many more.

This classic car shot blasting service is also one of the most effective methods of taking car body shells back to bare-metal for a bare-metal respray, offering a perfect paint finish with a full guarantee.

What is SHOT BLASTING? Is it the same as Sand Blasting?

The term “Sand Blasting” being used today is actually referring to the practice of Shot Blasting. The actual practice of Sand Blasting, using actual sand, was stopped in the UK as far back as 1949. Regardless, the practice of Shot Blasting is still widely known as Sand Blasting.

Shot blasting is an extremely effective form of mechanical cleaning that can be used to remove rust, paint, and other types of debris from a variety of surfaces including classic cars, metal, timber, brick and concrete.

Shot Blasting is a very common way to restore vehicle parts such as heritage vehicle chassis restorations, bodywork rust removal and removal of old paint coatings prior to respraying.

It is much more efficient than traditional methods of preparing bodywork, such as sanding, and much more forgiving than acid-dipping.

Fitting Services

It is essential that vehicles and components are properly dismantled before going through the shot blasting process. This ensures only the areas you want to blast are blasted, preventing any unnecessary damages or alterations to any other components.

Disassembly and assembly of vehicle components can prove difficult, especially on older vehicles. At Peacock Prestige we offer a full fitting service so that you can bring your car to us and even drive it back out again when we’re done.
