Industrial Surface Prep
Done Right

ShowMe Mobile Blasting brings industrial surface preparation directly to your job site. Our dustless blasting process strips paint, rust, mill scale, and industrial coatings from structural steel, heavy machinery, storage vessels, and more, leaving a clean anchor profile ready for your coating system.

No need to disassemble and haul large equipment to a shop. Our mobile rig travels throughout Missouri and the surrounding states, handling jobs of any scale on-site. We work around your schedule and keep your downtime short.

Tell us the surface prep spec your coating calls for and we will tell you straight whether we can hit it on your substrate. We would rather turn down a job than miss a spec you are paying for.

What We Blast

From structural steel on active construction sites to large industrial storage vessels — if it needs stripped, we handle it.

Structural Steel

I-beams, steel frames, structural members, and fabricated steel blasted to bare metal and left with a clean anchor profile for your coating system.

Heavy Equipment

Construction equipment, loaders, excavators, and large industrial machinery. Full rust and coating removal, prepped for repainting.

Storage tank sandblasted clean — industrial vessel surface prep

Storage Vessels & Tanks

Above-ground storage tanks, industrial vessels, hoppers, and containment structures. Rust removal and surface prep for protective liner application.

Vehicle chassis and trailer frames sandblasted

Fleet Vehicles & Trailers

Commercial trucks, trailers, semi frames, and fleet vehicles. Full undercarriage and frame surface prep — rust removal to bare metal.

Industrial hopper and vessel blasted clean

Industrial Machinery

Manufacturing equipment, hoppers, conveyors, agricultural machinery, and industrial components. On-site blasting minimizes production downtime.

Ready to Coat

Surfaces are stripped to bare metal and ready for primer, paint, or protective coating application.

Work We've Actually Done

Not a capability list. These are real jobs off the schedule, so you can judge whether we handle the kind of work you have.

Gas pipeline sections

Blasted and coated to the customer's spec. Roughly three hours on site, tight tolerance on the finish, and the kind of job where getting the prep wrong is expensive later.

County salt storage barn

Road and bridge department. About two weeks of work. Salt is brutal on steel, so the prep has to be right or the recoat fails inside a season.

Hospital interior, Jefferson City

Two to three weeks inside an occupied building. Dust control was the whole reason we got the call, and we worked around the facility's schedule rather than the other way around.

Parking structure

Blast plus pressure wash across a multi-level garage in Jefferson City. Two to three weeks, staged so sections stayed open to traffic.

Mizzou campus buildings

Multi-day masonry and steel work on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia. Active pedestrian areas, so containment mattered as much as the blasting did.

Condo staircases, Lake of the Ozarks

Structural stair flights stripped and recoated. Repeat work at the Lake, where salt air and weather take steel apart fast.

Flat roof coating removal

Aluminum coating stripped off a commercial flat roof, priced by the square foot with travel and per diem. Out-of-state job, which we take when the scope justifies it.

1930s steel casement windows

Close to a century of paint and hardened glazing taken back to bare steel without damaging the frames. Historic work needs a lighter hand than structural does.

Six years in business, 500 plus projects, veteran owned and operated. If your job does not look like anything on this list, call anyway. We will tell you straight if it is not a fit.

Industries We Serve

We work with contractors, facility managers, fabricators, and equipment owners across multiple industries.

Steel Fabrication & Construction

Structural steel, fabricated components, and construction equipment prepped for coating and painting.

Agriculture & Farming

Tractors, farm implements, grain bins, and large agricultural machinery stripped and prepped for recoating.

Transportation & Fleet

Semi trucks, trailers, commercial fleet vehicles, and transport equipment — full surface prep on-site.

Oil, Gas & Industrial Storage

Storage tanks, industrial vessels, piping, and containment structures blasted and prepped for protective liners.

Manufacturing & Production

Manufacturing equipment, industrial machinery, and production line components blasted on-site to minimize downtime.

Commercial & Municipal

Commercial buildings, parking structures, bridges, and municipal infrastructure — surface restoration and prep.

Service Area

Based in Columbia, MO, we cover the whole state for industrial and commercial work. Columbia, Jefferson City, Kansas City and St. Louis are the markets we run most often, and the two-hour drive to either metro is routine for us on a multi-day job.

No job site is too far for the right project. Call us and we'll let you know if we can make it work.

Common Questions

What surface cleanliness standard do you achieve?

Tell us the spec your coating manufacturer calls for and we will tell you whether we can hit it on your substrate. Wet abrasive blasting produces a clean surface with an anchor profile suitable for most industrial coating systems, but what is actually achievable depends on the steel, its condition, and the media we run. We would rather look at the job than promise a number over the phone. If your project needs third-party inspection or a documented profile reading, say so up front and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Can you blast large structures and equipment on-site?

Yes. Our fully mobile rig travels directly to your location. We've worked on large storage tanks, structural steel assemblies, construction equipment, and commercial buildings on active job sites. No need to dismantle or transport anything.

Is dustless blasting safe on active job sites?

Yes. The water in our process suppresses airborne particulate right at the nozzle, so we can work on active commercial and industrial sites where dry blasting would put dust everywhere. Worth knowing how the water affects steel: any wet process will flash rust bare steel if it is left sitting, so we run a rust inhibitor in the water and plan the job around your recoat window. That is also why about three quarters of our work is blast and finish together, so the steel never sits bare. If your painter is handling the coating, tell us their schedule and we will time the blast to it.

How far do you travel for industrial jobs?

We're based in Columbia, MO and regularly serve all of Missouri — Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Jefferson City, and surrounding areas. For larger industrial contracts, we travel to Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Arkansas. Call us and we'll let you know if we can make it work.

How do I get a quote for an industrial job?

Call or text (573) 808-2771, or fill out our online quote form. Describe the job — what needs to be blasted, the location, and the approximate size or scope. We typically respond within 30 minutes and can schedule an on-site assessment if needed.
