Professional Engine Cleaning?

[scottieducati]

I was hoping someone could recommend a local place to have engine components (cases, covers, external stuff) professionally stripped of paint, cleaned, and possibly dipped or coated / treated in some way to prevent rust or corrosion? Whatever normal service might be. Looking to get my VFR400 motor bits cleaned thoroughly prior to sending em out for machine work.

Input greatly appreciated!

you could probably send them off to phil @ midnight powdercoating? i know he blasted my swingarm and such before powdering it. or is that too harsh?

That's way to cheap for ScottieDucati.

Yeah, any good powdercoater should be able to clean those parts after you thoroughly degrease them.

Thanks Shep', I just got off the phone with em and they recommend Soda Blasting instead of Bead Blasting. I've got a write up somewhere on how to do a home made soda blaster that looks to work well. I might give that a shot before looking out towards a shop.

At least it's an excuse to make a mess @ Degsy's place

hey if nothing else they gave you an idea. I have a pressure washer if you want to borrow it before you soda blast it.
