I was speaking with a friend who predominately restores E9/10 BMWs in the Los Angeles area and he asked if knew anyone who did vapor blasting as he had lost his connection for doing it (I work in manufacturing as a day job) and mentioned that i did not and wasn't entirely familiar with the process. A few short weeks of research later, i discovered there arent as many places offering this service as you'd think, so I took the leap and purchased a machine from a company out of North Carolina (Vapor Honing Technologies) and began peforming this work for him.
If you're not familiar, vapor blasting is a wet blasting process, and you can run almost all of the same types of media that you can in a dry blaster, however the bonus is the water creates a safety barrier that makes it safe on machined surfaces. I exclusively run fine glass bead so it's very easy on parts and restores them to a like new or better finish. I am looking to make this a part time gig outside of work and am taking on new customers, so far i have several decent sized restoration shops.
This process is good for anodize prep or to clean up things with light corrosion, scratches, etc.
See below for before and after pictures, rates are $85/hr for wet blasting services with a 1 hour minimum, just reach out to me with pictures of what you're looking to have done and i can accurate quote a time.
