Sid's alive :LolLolLolLol:

Sid is responsible for the aquablasting discovery on Tuffs in the first place folks so let's give him a rad thanks :coolsmiley:

Down got my white ones done at the place Sid found. They came out frikkin ace  :4_17_5: Apart from Spens and Dordy's dirty paw prints  :2funny:

downlowmatt:
I've got my white tuffs going up to Martin now... I'll keep you updated!

Martin at VBS just did a set of Tuffs for me too.  Cant really complain for 15 quid.  They are way better then before being blasted.  I don't think there is too much that can be done about fading or yellowing as only a tiny layer is blasted away.  This of course keeps the finish smooth.  The blasting gives you a good base for dying or bleaching.  My tuffs being lavender don't make dying an easy option.  But they are now good enough to go on a show bike, maintaining the wheels originality :)

deeman:
Is the resultant finish just as smooth as the original? i always thought it ended up a bit rough?
