Brake caliper vapour blasting for restoration work
Clean suitable caliper bodies and metal brake components before coating, rebuild or restoration, with suitability confirmed from photos.
Preparation for restoration
Vapour blasting can be useful on suitable stripped caliper bodies where a clean, even surface is needed before the next stage.
- Photo assessment before quote
- Suitability confirmed before blasting
- Good for many classic and performance restoration parts
- Not a substitute for safety inspection or professional rebuild
Safety-critical parts need care
Brake components are safety critical. VMC handles cleaning/preparation only and suitability depends on condition, material and required finish.
- Remove seals and pistons where required
- Confirm coating/rebuild plan
- Do not send parts with unknown safety issues without context
- Final mechanical safety remains with the rebuilder/installer
Send clear photos first.
VMC confirms suitability, likely prep, price and turnaround before any work starts. Most suitable jobs are turned around in 1–4 working days depending on size, condition and workshop load.
