As I understand paint prep, it etches the surface of the metal to
give the paint or primer something to grab onto. "Sand" blasted
metal is already etched from the "sand" so prep should not be
required... Just make sure whatever you intent to paint is
thoroughly clean and degreased (a product like Prep-Sol is good
for this purpose).
