I had my engine soda blasted then primed and painted it.Zoltan said:The cowl looks great. When you sandblasted everything, did you put a clear coat over them? After sandblasting are they not as vulnerable to rusting? Seems any bit of moisture on the right place of my bike will create rust on these old metals. Debating painting vs. sandblasting my engine.

I haven't used shapeways to make molded parts (didn't know they had that capability) but I've used them a lot for 3D printed parts.eyhonda said:We've used Shapeways too in our company. IIRC, I may have discovered them thru this forum. AFAIK, they make a 3D mold of your part based on a CAD and use the mold to spit out your new parts.
