Motorcycle vapour blasting Petersfield

Restore Your Components to Like-New Condition

Vapour blasting, also known as wet blasting or aqua blasting, is a gentle yet highly effective cleaning and finishing process that transforms tired, corroded, or painted components back to a beautiful satin finish without causing damage.

Unlike traditional dry blasting which can be aggressive and leave components looking flat and lifeless, vapour blasting uses a mixture of water, blasting media, and air to gently remove corrosion, paint, carbon deposits, and grime while leaving a superior satin finish that looks factory-fresh.

What is Vapour Blasting?

Vapour blasting suspends fine abrasive media in water before propelling it at the component. The water cushions the impact, preventing damage to softer metals while still removing unwanted material. The result is a clean, uniform satin finish that's smooth to the touch and looks fantastic.

The process is ideal for motorcycle components because it cleans thoroughly without removing significant material, doesn't leave embedded media, produces consistent results, and creates a corrosion-resistant surface that's perfect for painting or leaving natural.

Components We Vapour Blast

Engine casings including crankcases, cylinder heads, side covers, and gearbox casings look transformed after vapour blasting. Years of grime, old gasket material, and oxidation disappear, revealing clean metal underneath.

Fork legs, yokes, and suspension components clean up perfectly, removing old paint, corrosion, and road grime without damaging chrome or aluminium.

Carburetors and fuel system components benefit from thorough cleaning inside and out. We can blast external surfaces while hand-cleaning internal passages.

Brake calipers, master cylinders, and hydraulic components clean up beautifully. Old paint, corrosion, and brake dust are removed completely.

Small parts including fasteners, footpegs, levers, and brackets all benefit from vapour blasting to restore their appearance.

Classic bike parts with original finishes can be cleaned without removing the aged patina or damaging delicate castings.
