Surface Preparation Solutions for Automotive & Industrial Coating

A complete range of abrasive and surface conditioning solutions designed for automotive refinishing, collision repair, and industrial coating workflows. From initial sanding to final leveling, our surface prep systems support consistent finishes, coating adhesion, and efficient shop operations for professional users and distributors.

CONTROLLED CUT. UNIFORM SURFACE.

Surface preparation is not just a preliminary step—it determines coating adhesion, surface uniformity, and long-term durability. Inadequate sanding or improper grit selection can lead to peeling, uneven gloss, or rework costs. Professional surface prep focuses on controlled material removal, consistent scratch patterns, and compatibility with subsequent coating systems.

CONSISTENT ABRASION PERFORMANCE

Engineered grit distribution ensures uniform scratch patterns across panels.

REDUCED SURFACE DEFECTS

Controlled cutting minimizes deep scratches that cause paint failures later.

SUITABLE FOR MULTIPLE SUBSTRATES

Compatible with metal, primer, clear coat, plastic, and composite surfaces.
