What is Metal Paint Removal Spokane?
Metal paint removal is a restorative service that strip failed paint and rust from metallic surfaces like railings and furniture to prevent long-term structural failure.
Beautiful wrought-iron balcony railings can often become heavily pitted with rust and obscured by layers of poorly applied spray paint. Simply painting over rust guarantees the metal will continue to deteriorate. Here is the absolute rule regarding metal paint removal in Spokane: you must strip exactly down to perfectly bare, shiny steel before any new rust-blocking primer will actually stick.
Professional Iron Stripping
Hand sanding rusty metal railings takes forever and completely misses the deep ornamental crevices. We safely isolate the area and utilize powerful needle scalers and wire wheels attached to massive air compressors to violently knock loose the peeling black chunks.
Using fast-acting liquid rust converters, we physically transform any remaining microscopic oxidation instantly into a completely solid, paintable surface. We blast the bare metal perfectly clean and immediately seal it with heavy industrial rust-inhibitors before the evening humidity can start the dangerous oxidation process all over again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you save a railing that is already missing chunks?
If the rust is localized, we can strip and stabilize it, though some weld repairs may be needed.
Q: How long will the new finish last?
With proper stripping and rust-inhibiting primers, metal finishes can last 10+ years.
