The business owner used his DB500 Mobile to remove the topical coloring and the old sealer.  Next, he recolored the concrete with a gray color, and antiqued it with black. Finally, he sealed with new sealer. ## Job Details - **Equipment:** DB500 Mobile S - **Air Compressor:** 185 CFM - **Blasting Method:** Wet blasting - **Abrasive:** 40/70 crushed glass - **Pressure:** 80 PSI - **Surface Area:** 750 sq. ft. - **Blast time:** 6 hours - **Nozzle:** SLV #5 - **Cleanup:** Brushed spent media into lawn ## Equipment The DB500 Mobile S sits on our most compact trailer, making it perfect for residential areas. What's more, the Dustless Blasting process suppresses the dust plume so neighbors are not disturbed.   [![DB500 Mobile S equipment on trailer](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2020%20Website%20Content/Equipment%20Page%20Assets%20-%20Mobiles/equipment-page-db500-mobile-s.png?width=1080&name=equipment-page-db500-mobile-s.png)](https://www.dustlessblasting.com/products/mobile/db500-mobile-s) ## Adding Services This contractor has added concrete staining and sealing to his arsenal of services.

Blasting removed the topical coloring along with the old sealer. Used a medium gray for coloring, then antiqued it in black. The pads were then sealed with Deco Guard 25% high gloss sealer. The finished photos give the appearance that it’s very dark, however in person it has a dark slate appearance.” **Jon M.** Dustless Blasting Business Owner # Download or Print This Case Study #### Want to share this case study with family, friends, and business partners?  Simply fill out the form to get a printable version.
