How to photograph parts for a fast vapour blasting quote

The right photos help we quote accurately.

We quote most work from photos because price and turnaround depend on size, material, condition, complexity, paint, corrosion and preparation. Please send parts fully stripped, with anything the media could affect removed, as we don't mask. A few clear images can avoid delays and stop the wrong process being recommended.

• Take one full photo of each part.
• Add close-ups of corrosion, paint, damage, threads and machined areas.
• Show scale with a tape measure, ruler or familiar object.
• Photograph every side if the part is complex.
• Group batch work neatly so quantity is obvious.

What to include with the photos.

• Part type: e.g. Engine case, carburettor, caliper, manifold.
• Approximate size and quantity.
• Material if known, especially aluminium or mixed metals.
• Current condition: paint, grease, oxidation, corrosion or previous blasting.
• Any critical faces, threads, bores or passages that could mean the part can't be blasted safely. We don't mask, so please send parts stripped and ready to blast.
• Whether you want appointment drop-off, post-in or courier return.
• Any deadline or ideal turnaround.

Best route: WhatsApp 07856 528217 with photos and these details. We will confirm the process before work starts.
