We offer sandblasting, vapour blasting (also known as aqua blasting or wet blasting), ultrasonic cleaning, degreasing, and paint stripping.

While the answer to this is yes, it does require some work from yourselves before the components arrive with us. We would need all ports to be blanked off (with metal plates ideally, because duct tape doesn't hold up to the media) and some old spark plugs left in so that the media doesn't get into the combustion chamber. For us to blast an engine whole, it has to be relatively lightweight as neither of us is a bodybuilder.

Yes we do, please have a look at our "Vapour blasting price list" page, we can also email you a copy of this or give you a copy if you have some blasting done by us. Please note that the prices given are an estimation, and may vary slightly when we view the item.
As for the other services we provide, we are still finalising the pricings for these.

Sandblasting is a process of firing sand particles at an item to remove the rust, paint, and debris from the surface.
Vapour blasting is similar to sandblasting but it uses much finer particles along with water, the water acts as a lubricant to the particle to stop it from eroding the base material. This makes the finish a lot smoother finish. In the cabinet, we also add a rust inhibitor and degreaser to help stop the parts from rusting after the part has been blasted

Ultrasonic cleaning is a process where a component is submerged in a cleaning detergent which is then agitated by sound at an ultrasonic frequency which makes the fluid cavitate in the imperfections in the surfaces and create microscopic air bubbles which then explode and release the dirty from the item, the debris created then sinks to the bottom of the tank. This process works best with small and intricate parts such as injectors, carburetors or throttle bodies.

After we have vapour blasted your parts for you, we coat all ferous metal components with WD40 because it doesn't have any silicone in it. The WD40 acts as a barrier from moisture, therefore inhibiting the rusting process. As for alloys and other non-ferous parts we don't do anything but will advise that the client uses ACF-50 to coat the parts, this can last up to 12 months before need it needs reapplying.

While we don't provide a service to accomodate this, we do know people who can do this for you and can give you their details on enquiry.

Vapour blasting isn't a powerful enough process to remove the paint as it's a means to get a surface finish. if a component is painted, it turns the finish to a matt finish but doesn't remove it, this is why we have to strip the paint off the component prior to vapour blasting.

With the vapour blaster, the cabinet has an internal dimension of roughly 915mm wide 720mm deep and 873mm tall, so we can vapour blast parts up to that size.
For the sandblaster, it has an internal size roughly 1200mm wide, 700mm deep and 700mm tall.
The ultrasonic cleaner has an internal size of 750mm wide 600 deep and 550 tall, but we can do bigger components bigger by doing it in two sessions in the bath.
The stripping tank is 500mm wide 500mm deep and roughly 700mm tall, similar to the ultrasonic cleaner, we can do the stripping in 2 sessions to make sure that all of the paint is removed.
The degreaser has an internal size of roughly 500mm wide and 500mm deep and roughly 300 tall. The reason that the degreaser isn't as tall is because of the air actuation system, it raises and lowers the components quite vigorously to soften and remove the grease and oils.
