VTR 2fiddy parts bike

I see a lot of guys using Evaporust here. You can buy Oxalic acid powder on Amazon for $12/lb and mix it 1 lb to 1 gal water. It used to be $20 for a 5 lb back, but I see it’s gone up.

I soda blast the whole engine. I buy rubber plugs for every orfice. Removes everything and leaves an unmarked, bare aluminum surface. I pressure wash with an oxy cleaner to wash and neutralize the soda.

 

It gives it a light texture that the finishes really like to adhere to. Undetectable after the first coat of paint.

 

Nice! I know about soda, and if I was doing whole engines, that would be my choice as well.

 

Oh dang, that looks good!
I have never done an entire engine, only side cases, levers, brackets, etc. I tried soda blast in the beginning but my wife and I agreed we didn’t want the yard ton be cocaine field.

 

Agreed, it does look like a drug deal gone bad. It will also neutralize your soil. Cleans up nicely in my parking lot though. Here’s the finished product.

 

Bwaaa, beautiful!, very nice!
