Some of you have looked at my post about vapor blasting. Look here if you have not. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=72870

I have decided to offer Vapor Blasting service. I can do smaller parts. Mostly carburetor parts. If you have never seen what this does it is pretty amazing. After the parts come out they are very smooth. Look almost new. Almost seem to be painted.

Vapor blasting uses water mixed with very fine glass beads to create this finish. Similar to a bead/sand blast cabinet. The setup I have uses air only to operate. Below are some pics of some finished parts and some parts that have only half of them done to show how it looks when complete. They look and feel better than the pictures can show.

The cost for this service for NGW club members is $50.00 per hour. That is for the vapor blasting only. Any disassembly or assembly would be extra. If you have parts you want done contact me via pm. If they are larger parts check with me and I'll see if there is room.

No lie, I've had my eye on getting this done (assuming I can get the carb working) at some point. It's definitely intriguing.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

I’ve noticed this on parts for sale and couldn’t figure out how and why the parts looked so nice.
Now I see how they did it. Truly amazing outcomes.
