Whats the going rate to get a set of cases vapour blasted?
They are all stripped of parts/bearings and physically cleaned of road dirt and degreased.
Wanted them blasted as they just dont look clean and fresh despite various cleaning attempts....

I got quotes between £100-£250 for my Rally cases, cylinder head and rear hub earlier this year. Went with Simon at bike-aquablasting.co.uk/ and couldn't be happier with the job for £100. Lots of pics here:     |

Blimey they do scrub up well!
Been quoted £75-£80 to do cases and clutch cover for my lardy 150GL so seems about right.
Did you coat or protect them with anything after being blasted?

I got mine coated in Cerakote MC5100, which is a clear ceramic coating developed firstly for firearms. This cost more than the blasting (£125) but will hopefully be worth it once the scoot is back on the road as nothing should stick to them. I could share a photo but aside from a slight satin sheen they look exactly the same - just feel like they're made of ceramic now I got it done by Mark at www.highcalibrecoatings.co.uk/ceramic-coatings-for-motorcycles |

Dropped them off at the blasters, fingers crossed they come out as clean as yours. Pick up next week.

I did. Every thread hole checked, washed out and washed out again. Ran a tap down every thread too.
