shotblasted and powder coated motorcycle restoration

Motorcycles - Shotblasting and powder Coating

With our wealth of experience in renovating motorcycles and vehicle parts you can be sure that the preparation and powder coating work is carried out to the highest standards.

All parts are shot blasted using Aluminium Oxide a non ferrous material or fine glass bead in our aqua blaster or dry bead cabinet.

Please let us do all the preparation work, this way we are responsible for the final job, the only thing we ask you to do is where possible remove bearings, rubber/nylon bushes and clean oil and grease deposits. You can leave bearings in place providing you intend to replace them with new ones on the rebuild.

Every powder coater has their place and some cater for commercial work and others carry out a broad range of work. MSB comes under the broad range although 80% of our work comes from the motorcycle & car world. It's not always advisable to fully trust your parts to standard commercial coaters as the chances are there will be no or little attention to detail as masking or general preparation work.

Your work is undertaken in its own own time slot we will not mix your parts with any other work be it commercial or private.

Attention to detail for quality Powder Coating
Work that achieves a quality finish is not as easy as it looks.
Attention to detail and prep work is an absolute must,
also making sure that raceways and threads are protected from the blast media and powder.

Serial/Vin numbers must be protected in the Powder Coating process
It is very important to remove all parts/bearings from the main frame. - Why? First of all joints bearings and bushes hold oil and grease that may spoil the finished work. As oil products thin and run under hot temperatures this will spoil the work and ruin the end result, also during the blasting work, grit and dust will find a way into bearings and bushes and cause damage to the parts. We also take care to mask and protect bearing raceways and all threads before any work starts.

Make two lists of parts; with pictures if available and possible. This makes life a lot easier for all concerned and you have a complete record.

Whilst we take care to wrap all parts it would be advisable to bring along some
old blankets for the trip home.

Please feel free on collection to check the quality of our work before you take it and if you are not happy we will be pleased to rework the parts and return them to you at our cost.

We have a lot of experience with motorcycles and car parts so you can be sure that the shotblasting and powder coating work is carried out to the highest standards.

Let us do all the prep, that way we are responsible for the final job. Don't trust your bike parts to someone that is going to put them with a batch of commercial work as the chances are no attention to detail will be carried out.
