Where : outside your garage or the garden need to have open space

What : you need a sandblasting gun off fleabay about £12 and soda i got mine form a farm store 25kg was £9 so pretty cheap

I used my 50l little compressor it was not sufficient enough so i went up my mates farm and used a massive 250l compressor as you need the pressure to do it excellent finish to the engine now tho :D

heres one like i use simple to make just a piece of plastic pipe and a blow gun made it a years back great for soda but no good for heavy media like sand for that i use a cheap blast gun of ebay
but as said crank the compressor up high 120psi-150psi is fine

Learning all the time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx Miffa.
 
Hi all same story just found the DDT UK link im over in Chelmsford Essex Building a cb650 at the moment
this is what it started like

this is what it looks like now still a long way to go
 
Looks like a nice project you have there Kev. Is the frame in primer or is that the final colour? I played it safe on my first project with a black frame but will be going with colour on the next.
 
Hi, I am Wayne from Whiteley. I am just getting back into bikes after 19 years away. The wife bought me a new crash helmet for Christmas after I spotted one that I liked at the bike show in November. I took that as a green light to get another bike.
