Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
If you need to make the chain guard, infill panels or any black plastic parts on your bike look like new use this stuff. Its amazing!

Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
This is how the bike looks like now, i had it running the other night and its sooo sweet, the motor feels like its a low mileage unit if you know what i mean. Just waiting now for parts / money!

Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
Any chance of a pic of the blaster and some more info???? After seeing the results on your bike I reckon mine could do with the same treatment. Especially the rerarsets.

Thats what I use alebit a home-made cabinet. I have a special lance for my pressure-washer that includes a long plastic tube that uses the suction action of the water jet to suck up the glass bead / sand / whatever else you want to try to bast the item with.
The lance is similar to..

Works out cheaper in the long run than paying to have somebody do them.

Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
Bit of an update on the nc, today i picked up the plastics from J&S Racepaint (01248 600150) and the finish is superb. They have done an amazing job as the panels were in a shitty cracked scratched state and now look better than new! I cant recommend them enough. Check out the finish

Re: 89 NC30 Restoration
Out of interest, how much did they charge am after getting mine done exactly the same colour, just trying to get some prices. They look superb by the way!
