SAND/GLASS BLASTING HELL + CERAKOTE

Apr 12, 2026 | Desmoto

Started with the sand and glass blasting of the engine. Holy shit the paint of the cases and cylinders is hard. I had to chemically strip the cases. The cylinders and heads i was able to blast with some patience. The cases, heads adn cylinder will stay bare aluminium.

I dropped off the engine covers, valve covers and swingarm to get them Cerakoted. Going for the color Glacier Silver. Real curious to see how Cerakote turns out on a bike, since it is normally used on firearms. 

Will be using ACF-50 to make sure the aluminium is somewhat protected against corrosion when everything is on the bike.
