markparrish Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 That looks like very neat and tidy work! Is the aquablasting a very expensive process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time based so the cost depends on how much preparation the operator has to do. If you de-grease and remove paint, silicone, gaskets etc it will save paying someone else to do it. The bloke who does mine cleans external surfaces with bead blast to remove corrosion and ingrained dirt before the vapour blast, which also saves time. I use bead blast if I am going to paint something. The paint sticks better and it costs less. I use vapour blast for things that are going to be left bare like wheel rims, fork yokes and fork sliders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
