Precision Industrial Coating & Sandblasting Quality Control
Ensuring every surface meets the highest standards in coating performance and durability.
Since 1967, Central Sandblast & Painting Co. has built its reputation on precision, consistency, and compliance. Every project from our 50,000 sq. ft. Mounds View facility is backed by a documented Quality Control program that meets the highest standards in industrial coatings, surface preparation, and corrosion protection.
This attention to detail ensures every coating system performs as designed — preventing corrosion, extending service life, and maintaining full compliance with most DOT and all ASTM and AMPP/SSPC standards.
Our climate-controlled, enclosed facility provides ideal conditions for coating application and inspection year-round. With three blast booths, two large paint booths, and a 250-foot continuous rail line, we maintain full control from surface prep to final cure — ensuring repeatable, uniform coating performance on every part.

Our certified inspectors follow established procedures aligned with AMPP QP3, AMPP QS1, ISO 12944, and AMPP/NACE standards to verify every surface meets or exceeds specifications. We perform multi-stage inspections that include:
