Our Passion: Classic Motorcycles & Precision Restoration
We don’t just offer surface finishing—we live and breathe it. As active restorers, preservationists, and racers of classic motorcycles, we have completed countless vehicle builds and component refurbishments in our own workshop. Because we build and race our own machines, we understand the exact tolerances and care that delicate engine parts require.
Understanding the Process
If you are new to the technique, we recommend reading our Process Page to see how vapour blasting works. It’s an ideal solution for your project, but if you’re ever in doubt, get in touch with us—we are always happy to run a test piece for you.
Safe for Delicate Parts & Close Tolerances
When executed correctly with the right media, vapour blasting does not affect component dimensions. This allows us to safely clean delicate surfaces and high-precision parts that other cleaning methods would ruin. Components with critical bearing surfaces or tight tolerances—such as pistons, camshafts, and gearbox parts—can be treated with absolute confidence.
The Crucial Final Step: Thorough Cleaning
Post-Blasting Care & Painting Advice
While we meticulously rinse and purge parts after blasting, the final thorough cleaning prior to assembly always remains the customer’s responsibility to ensure components are completely ready for installation.
Always let us know if you intend to paint the parts. Ferrous components are prone to flash rusting, so we typically apply an inert corrosion inhibitor. While this coating is safe, it must be fully removed prior to re-painting—or alternatively, an appropriate etch primer can be applied to prevent any issues before you start finishing work.
