The work

We finish parts for the people who built them in the first place.

Our core work is restoration-quality finishing on aluminum — engine cases, carburetors, covers and precision assemblies — for builders, restoration shops and collectors who demand OEM-correct results.

We build engines too — so every part is handled the way the mechanic putting it back together would want.

Why vapor blasting

The cleaning method that doesn't fight the metal.

Over time aluminum collects oxidation, fuel residue, baked-on staining and environmental wear that standard cleaning can't touch. Dry media blasting is too aggressive — it pits surfaces and alters tolerances.

Vapor blasting suspends fine media in water, so it lifts contamination while preserving the original casting texture. The result is a clean, uniform, satin finish that looks factory-correct — without removing base material or opening up critical clearances.

  • Vintage restoration accuracy
  • Engine-rebuild preparation
  • Show-quality presentation
  • Improved mechanical resale value

The process

Four steps, no shortcuts.

STEP 01

Assess & mask

Threads, bores and critical surfaces protected before anything gets blasted.

STEP 02

Vapor blast

Fine media in water lifts oxidation while the cast texture stays.

STEP 03

Rinse & passivate

The fresh surface is stabilized so it won't flash-oxidize.

STEP 04

Inspect & return

Checked, then packed for pickup or the trip home.

Absolutely outstanding results — couldn't be any happier. Fast, fairly priced, convenient. Didn't even know you could get all three still in Brooklyn.
