You can have the cleanest spray technique in the world… but if your blast profile is trash, your coating performance will be too. 👀 Surface prep is EVERYTHING. Proper sandblasting creates the mechanical adhesion Cerakote needs to bond correctly and perform the way it was designed to. Our go-to approved medias: ⚡ #100 Grit Aluminum Oxide ⚡ #100 Grit Garnet Sand ⚡ 10X EpiX MP Different substrates = different approaches: 🔩 Metals → 80-100 PSI with an even sandpaper-like profile 🧩 Composites/Polymers/Carbon Fiber → 30-40 PSI with a light matte etched finish Pro tip: if your blasted surface still has inconsistent sheen, you’re not done blasting yet. Another pro tip: Old contaminated media = inconsistent adhesion. Swap your media regularly to maintain a clean, consistent profile. Your coating will thank you later. Prep smarter. Spray better. Perform longer. 🔥 #Cerakote #SurfacePrep #knowledgebased
