Specialist process, plain-English advice.
VMC selects between vapour blasting for a controlled satin finish and dry abrasive blasting for suitable robust parts needing paint, rust or scale removal.
For regulated sectors, VMC should assess material, use-case, cleanliness requirements and any compliance restrictions before accepting the job.
Next step: send a sample job or batch photos for suitability and trade pricing discussion.
Trust from real jobs.

Questions before sending parts?
Is vapour blasting safe for aluminium?
Yes — it is commonly used for aluminium engine cases, carburettors and precision components because it is gentler and more controlled than dry blasting.
How do I get an accurate quote?
Send clear photos, approximate size, material if known, condition and whether you plan to drop off or post the parts.
What is the typical turnaround?
Most suitable jobs are typically turned around in 1–4 working days, subject to workload, condition and any prep required.
Can I post parts from outside Lincolnshire?
Yes. VMC references post-in availability by prior arrangement with post-in/return handling by prior agreement where arranged.
Do you blast painted or heavily corroded parts?
Often, after assessment. Parts must arrive fully stripped and ready to blast, with anything that media could affect removed. Condition and preparation affect price and turnaround.
Can trade customers get repeat-work support?
Yes — trade accounts are available for garages, restorers, engineering workshops, manufacturers, food-industry maintenance teams, medical-sector suppliers and other repeat commercial work where parts are suitable.
Ready to restore your parts?
