daxmatt 0 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi all, during a few jobs to my car I decided to give the manifold a clean, after thinking about it for a while I decided to just get it vapour blasted rather than fully polished or powder coated, Its not a show car but there's nothing wrong with a bit of fettle Before After Very pleased with it all done for £30 its a bit like normal blasting but its done with small plastic beads and water the media itself is like talc powder very fine so cleans but its much less abrasive Link to post Share on other sites
daxmatt 0 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Little bit more as when doing on a phone it has a nasty habit of crashing and losing the post Done by these guys, I have used them several times and allways found them helpfull and good turnaround http://www.craftworkcoatings.co.uk/powder-coating-shot-blasting.htmlA nice way to bring your engine bits back to New finish, the manifold was in worse condition than the pictures show so very pleased Cheers matt Link to post Share on other sites
