I want to get my Katana barrels vapour blasted.
Can anyone recommend someone near me? (Winchester, Hampshire)
Is there anything I need to be wary of?
Thanks
Liam

Only one I can think of is Aqua Blast in Cambridge. (07885-88108 or 07842-470868). They do an 'as new' finish on engine cases.  |

I used soda blasting on my Kat barrels. Was told that vapour blasting wasn't strong enough. Came up spotless with the soda

Sorry forgot to update. Took them to be vapour blasted, and Trestan's (powdercoaters near me who have done great work for me before) told me that as I was painting it, I may as well media blast it: Regular finish takes paint well; vapour blast slurry is more difficult to get rid of; vapour blasting is more expensive. Very pleased with the result as there's no way I'd get the barrels that clean by hand, and the final coat of paint is drying as I type... ...updated - dry now   |
