Classic motorcycle parts vapour blasting
Vapour blasting for suitable classic motorcycle components, from engine covers and carb bodies to hubs, brackets and restoration batches.
Careful finish for older castings and restoration parts
Older motorcycle parts can be valuable, scarce and easy to damage with the wrong process. VMC uses a photo-first assessment before confirming whether vapour blasting is appropriate.
- Engine cases, covers, carb bodies, hubs and brackets assessed case by case
- Suitable for many aluminium and cast metal restoration components
- Helps achieve a clean satin finish while avoiding harsh dry blasting impact
- Useful for private restorers and motorcycle workshops
