We use our Dry Blast cabinets when items require paint and corrosion removal from the surface of Vespa or Lambretta components. Dry Blasting also known as Bead Blasting, Shot Blasting, or Grit Blasting is used to clean ferrous metals such as iron and steel as well as paint and rust removal, leaving an ideal clean surface in preparation for painting. The abrasive nature of dry blasting lightly etches the cleaned surface leaving a dull matt textured finish ideal for keying paintwork.

 

All items should be reasonably degreased and any seals, roller, or ball bearings removed. 

​

Preparing Your Items 

• Parts will need to be dismantled and all internal components removed i.e. bearings, seals etc. Please contact us to discuss

• Please ensure you remove all valves, jets, bearings and seals etc. in readiness for the blasting process

• On receiving the items we request they have been cleaned and degreased to a reasonable level 

• If you require us to dismantle, or degrease your items we are happy to do so at an additional cost

​

Please note the cleaning process can reveal defects such as stress fractures. FWD Italian Connection cannot accept responsibility for pre-existing damage revealed during the cleaning process. If defects are identified we will inform you immediately.

 

Please contact us to discuss any of the preparation process.

We are restricted to the size of items we can fit in our dry blast cabinet but most wheel and engine components can be accommodated..
