                                                                                Vapour Blasting

                                                                                One of the most time consuming aspects of restoration is getting everything clean prior to reassembly. We already have a dry bead blast cabinet for smaller articles, but we have invested in a Komet Vapour blaster. This fires boiling hot water, degreaser, rust-inhibitor and bead at 120 psi, out of a gun with a 1 inch nozzle. This cleans items such as engine/suspension components in a fraction of the usual time.

                                                                                We can clean items such as 6 cylinder engine blocks (Alvis Speed 25 for example). This gives a real time advantage for your work. Also, you can be sure that items really were "bare metal" prior to painting.

                                                                                We carry out this work for our own customers and also clean for other workshops. We are happy to clean items for you on an hourly basis.

                                                                                Here are some before and after photos to show you what the machine can do.
