Vapour blasting uses glass bead, suspended in water, where as Bead or grit blasting is a dry process & uses compressed air to propel the blasting media.

Good looking results.I've just dropped our KR1s cases off today,I've had a go at cleaning them myself but they still look crap.I hav'nt seen an alternative that produces results like those.

Looks good results Ade, did you make up the blasting cabinet yourself? i tried but my compressor is too feeble to maintain high enough pressure Paul J..
