    Custom Polished Valve

    I'm building a project Mag and I wanted to give the AIR Valve and internals some TLC. I also wanted it to be custom in appearance , so I was looking to have all the lettering removed for a slick, clean look. Luckily, my boy Mer hooked me up! Check out these before and after pics. He did some very nice work and really transformed this Classic Valve from old and weathered to new hotness. Thanks Mer!

    Andrew

    Looks nice. Would look great in an all chrome classic.

        Wow. That looks nice.

        He should start a side business. I'm willing to bet quite a few people would pay to have that done.

          Uh yea I'd pay. I've got a classic sitting next to me that would look sick with that.

            Hey Andrew,

            Glad you like my work.

            If there's an interest in these I'll start a thread in the "Dealer's" section.

            Take Care,

            Eric

                  Yeah, I can take some shots of where the writing used to be. Give me a bit...it's busy at work here right at the moment but I'll post them this evening. It looks great in that area as well.

                  Thanks,

                        Blasted parts don't polish up well without a bunch of sanding first to smooth out the surface.

                        If you want to sand it smooth first I'd try it.

                              Those can easily be re-blasted to look like new though.
