Bead Blasting

Post by 68Cb77 » Mon Jan 07, 2008 5:25 pm

So I just built myself a little bead blasting rig, since everything on this bike could use a good clean up. I'm wondering, I know most everything could be blasted, but what about the more polished looking pieces, like the points cover and the 2 round parts on the engine cases? (the generator and oil filter covers) They don't look horrible, but polishing them with Autosol isn't really making them look perfect.

I use a bench grinder motor with buffer pads and buffing media for those parts.
Not difficult but takes time to get things right. .............lm
