Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
It really does, i've been vapour blasting unpainted aluminium engines with glass beads (makes them look like brand new!) However, without a cabinet to collect the glass it's too expensive :/fastdruid wrote:Very nice work!
Blasting and repainting makes a world of difference, looks new! I'm adding a blasting cabinet to my Christmas list now!

Ah cool, how heat-resistant is the paint, as surely the calipers will get quite toasty, i'da thought it might burn off?big stink wrote:The paint on the calipers and disc carriers is Plastikote gold no620/452. I`m also clear coating them to tone the metalic look down.

Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
I used plasticote on the tinware/engine bay on my show car/drag racing bug and it never peeled and that got really hot. I guess i will find out, but i dont think the heat will be an issue. 2x ex wrc celicas!! thats just not right, ask him if he still has any TTE bits left over?!!!

Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
At the minute im using just a hand held blaster, but we will be looking into purchasing early next year an industrial sized blast cabinet and offering a service to blast and clean any motorbike parts.bridgey wrote:Great thread. I can't wait to see it finished.
