Vapor Blasting Services - What it is, how we do it, what it costs

VAPOR BLASTING OF ALUMINUM PARTS

FREE SHIPPING ON ALL VAPOR BLAST PROJECTS. See the Shipping Information page for details!

Renew the finish on all of the bare aluminum components of your motorcycle. We use the finest vapor blasting equipment and 100% ceramic media to gently remove oxide, discoloration, clearcoat, and fine scratches, leaving a lustrous fine satin finish. Perfect as is for many Japanese, European and American motorcycle components, or as the ideal first cleaning and preparation step for further finishing including painting, anodizing, polish, or clearcoat.

What does it cost? Visit this page for a representative slideshow of projects and pricing. Or give us a call - anytime. This is our passion too and we would love to talk about your project. (520) 308-3705

		This is a favorite. Can you imagine trying to get this Yamaha Banshee case cleaned up in preparation for rebuild by hand?
Close-up of the Yamaha Banshee case after blasting, side by side before and after. No comparison.	Nice but dirty old part, quick rinse to keep the machines clean and...	Presto. Looks a bit better :-)
Old Honda clutch cover, very much in harm's way. Clearcoat scratched and faded, lots of surface scratches...	Better! Did this one half and half to show the difference.	A cylinder head from a Yamaha XT 500, in great shape but with a nominal amount of carbon, oxidization and corrosion. Not quite ready to be put back into service.
Can you believe they are the same part?	Close up of the finished surface. Perfect as is, straight from the blaster.	A pair of valve covers from a Toyota Supra, mid process. The owner was DELIGHTED.

Another nice part, this sprocket cover from an older Honda CB is just oxidized and tired-looking. Another half-and-half to illustrate the before and after.
Another favorite, this beautiful Ducati part would be a nightmare to try and clean by hand with all the cooling fins. The Vapor blaster made short work of the corrosion and oxidization inside and out of this part.	A brake caliper and brackets from a 1975 Kawasaki Z1 900, blasted spotless in preparation for refinishing and rebuilding.	An old mistreated clutch cover from an older Honda CB, done half-and-half. Notice the perfect gasket sealing surfaces, Capor Blasting will not remove gaskets or heavy sealant, but it will scour a gasket surface perfectly clean.
A pair of Honda CL-350 fork stanchions, one is vapor blasted in preparation for rebuilding. Seal area, grooves, everything spotless, inside and out. Ready for rebuild (right after I vapor blasted the other one, that is!)	Yes you can vapor blast carb bodies, and it will seal the pores of the metal making them a lot more resistant to future corrosion. All carburetor parts are ultrasonic cleaned after treatment to ensure that they are spotless inside and out.
