FAQ
The Answers You Need
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If you bring your parts in we can usually give you quotes on the spot.
Please note that some coatings or finishes are harder to remove than others. We have various machines and baths at NVB to remove all types of finishes. All quotes are subject to change, we always contact you first if anything changes!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The process uses an enclosed cabinet with a sump filled with water and tiny glass beads.
A pump agitates the glass and water and draws it up through a blast hose into a gun where it’s accelerated by compressed air.
The mixture cleans by flow of water not by impact unlike traditional blasting methods.
ASSEMBLED ENGINES
While some blasters will blast assembled units such as engines, gearbox, diffs and forks, we do not.
The risk of media entering and causing internal damage is too high. It only takes a few beads to seize a bearing or block an oil gallery!
However, if you’re too busy or unsure how to, let one of our mechanics do it for you.
