That's a good question.  It can be slow to remove paint using a gentle media, but of course you don't want to use anything aggressive that will damage the underlying surface.  I'm happy to experiment, and it won't cost you anything, but I don't want to do irreversible damage to an original finish.  We'd have to try a hidden area or a part without much value.  The part won't be damaged in any way, but my concern is the original paint.

Thanks,
Bobby

One more plug then I will leave y'all alone.  It also works on brass, steel, plastic, Bakelite, etc without harming the surface.

Im not sure I see any real advantage to this over using low air pressure and #10 Beads.  Adding water may make it cleaner.  convince me

Jim, I think the only way to convince you is for you to have the parts in your hands. Send me a couple items (junk is fine), both die cast and sand cast, maybe a carburetor body, or something like that. I will blast them and send them back. Same address you just sent the Cobra 427 valve covers to.

Thanks,

Steve,

I'm in League City just west of I45 and work out of my home garage in the evenings.  You're welcome to visit any time, just let me know, and bring something with you that we can blast so that you can see the process.

Thanks,
Bobby

Vapor blasting service for aluminum and other parts.  Make the parts look and feel new again.  Price depends on size and complexity of part, quantity discount.
