We can remove residue or minor imperfections to create a suitable base for final finishing. Processes include tumbling, glass bead blasting, iron phosphating and chromate conversion coating.
 
Sand Blasting/Media Blasting (NEW AT AFI)
New at AFI is a sand blasting room 10' x 12'. We can use a variety of media upon request for all your blasting needs. Media Blasting is important for all coatings. Media Blasting will create an etch on the part for the coatings to adhere to; this also makes sure the parts are clean of dirt and rust prior to coating.
 
Large Capacity Pretreatment
