What is Paint Stripping?

Commonly referred to as ‘paint removal’, paint stripping is the separation of the layer of paint from the underlying layer or surface.

During the process of sandblasting for paint removal, molecules of an active ingredient (found in the abrasive media) are blasted against the paint; causing swelling and in turn, internal strains. As the paint layer’s adhesion to the surface weakens, the paint starts to strip away.

Although blasting paint is a messy process, at ProStrip Sandblasting, we take extra precaution in paint stripping in Melbourne to ensure an eco-friendly environment and retain the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act and Regulations.

With this in mind, we generally cover all interior surfaces to prevent dust or confine all paint stripping to a restricted work area where all debris can be washed away with a hose.

Benefits of Paint Removal using Sandblasting or Abrasive Blasting

One of the main purposes of removing paint from a surface is to prepare surfaces for further treatment and restoration.

Sandblasting or abrasive blasting can be used to remove paint from surfaces with damages that are impossible to remove with a conventional sand down.

Some of the benefits of paint stripping using sandblasting or abrasive blasting is to restore old surfaces back to their original condition. These surfaces may include:

  • Wearing building facades
  • Antifoul on marine surfaces such as cruisers, yachts, boats and more
  • Painted historical building – to expose original details
  • Corroding steel structures
  • Food processing machinery
  • Wood, brick and concrete floors, pillars, walls and more


In terms of old steel, blasting
 equipment will be able to remove all unwanted paint and rust surfaces – allowing to effectively apply a protective coating for a long-lasting surface finish.

However, new steel surfaces may also require blasting to cut into the unprotected parts of the metal, and remove mill scale and welding slag for the purpose of coating it with a protective layer.
