Painted marine engine casting stripped back to bare aluminium

The starting point

The casting came in with old paint in two colours, patchy and flaking in places, with staining and build-up over the rest of the casting.

What we did

We vapour blasted the casting from every side, around the fittings and the open ports. Old paint and build-up come off without hammering the aluminium.

The result

The paint and build-up have gone. The casting is bare, even aluminium again and the raised lettering is clear.
