    Vapour Blasting

    In my mind soda blasting only return the carb body to it's 35 year old looking state (dull and mottled). IF (and only IF) you are going for a brand sparkling new look you will need to be more aggressive. Vapour blasting will do this:



    and this:



    Repainting is another alternative.

      I have not seen this offered by anyone in the states, only overseas. The cost involved in shipping makes that impractical...

        Keep an eye out, Sci85. We now have a couple of companies in the Vancouver area offering vapour blasting, so I don't imagine your area will be too far behind.
