Matt and company did a great job sandblasting an old Blackstone griddle that was destined for the dump. Responded overnight to my service query when I was looking for a local sandblasting company that would remove the old rust and seasoning. After a quick dimension check, they offered a fair price and really pulled through. Now I'll just clean it up with a little vinegar and then a quick wash with soap and then get to seasoning it with multiple layers of avocado oil with the burners and a blowtorch and this discarded hand-me-down blackstone will be back to making smashburgers and bacon and no time! Thanks again! read more

This place does an amazing job. If you need anything painted or powder coated this is the place

just now New I am writing to express my complete dissatisfaction with Pilot Sandblast & Coatings. Our contractor chose Pilot Sandblast Coatings, for our project. The experience, which has spanned over a year, has been consistently problematic. Specifically, the quality of the powder coating has been unacceptable, exhibiting issues such as orange peel, areas of bare metal showing through, inconsistent thicknesses, and drips. These recurring issues indicate that the project was not produced to a professional standard. I recommend that for any projects requiring true professional quality, others should seek services elsewhere. read more

Can't say enough good things about these guys. Super friendly, helpful, fair price, and excellent work. They were able to accommodate a rush order for us on an antique iron table and chairs and made me very happy. read more

I would like to thank Matt and the crew at Pilot Sandblast and Coatings for the great job they did on my Great Grandmother's Wash Pot! A hundred years ago my great grandmother used a wood burning fire to heat water in this cast iron tub. My grandmother followed suit, washing her family's clothes the same way until a "wringer" washer came along. My mom remembered clothes being washed in the tub and when my grandmother died she brought the tub to California and repurposed it into a flower pot. I inherited it when my mom died and I had it refurbished so that it will continue to have blooms throughout the year! Women earned the right to vote at just about the time this tub was pressed into service!I know this was a very small job in comparison to most of their jobs, but the price was fantastic, the service excellent, and the result stunning! I highly recommend this business!!! read more

Matt at Pilot answered every question I had, giving me great information about the process and a brochure with charts of colors for me to choose from.. Pilot took care of the unusual items I'd trusted them with--2 old chairs someone else might have discarded; a wrought iron rack for a hose, and--a dolly my 98-year-old mother-in-law had given me probably 25 years ago! The dolly has been very useful recently, despite its considerable rust. I'd promised myself (and my mother-in-law) that it deserved a new "paint" job. When Matt asked me what color I wanted, I chose bright purple, thinking of the stunning hair colors we'd seen on her at parties. I'll be sending her a picture of her beautiful dolly, thanks to Pilot! read more

I have no reservations in recommending Pilot Sandblasting. They did such a great job restoring our little cafe set. I really wanted to keep it, as it has such charm and is comfortable as well. They sandblasted and coated the set, and when the table ended up with holes (due to rust, which we knew might happen), they suggested a way to fill the holes and paint it. It turned out better than I had hoped. read more

Matt, Julio, and the shop crew are the best! I took them a big rack for my Jeep that had been powder coated but was pitted and peeling. The rack now looks better than new. Matt's price was very reasonable and the job exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be bringing more projects and referring anyone I can to this great place. read more

I happened to stumble on Pilot when doing a small metal job in Salinas. As a result of the way I was treated by Bill, Matt and the overall great service, I will be shipping all my powder coating needs to them. Thanks so much for the great service. Don read more

Cant say enough good things about Pilot Coatings. I brought in a rusted old trailer and Matt returned a beautiful shinny white trailer. Sand blasted, primed with epoxy primer and top coated with shinny white paint. Beautiful job. Excellent work, large clean facility and very fair prices. Everyone who sees it thinks it's a new trailer.Thanks Matt ! read more
