Revealing 50-year-old original paint with dry ice blasting — and not going one molecule too far. This Kawasaki came in for spray paint removal down to raw aluminum and a cowl coated in rattle-can blue over factory black. The customer wants the original patina preserved, not erased. Low-pressure passes, constant monitoring, tedious as hell — but the blue is lifting clean and the all-black original paint is coming through exactly as it left the factory five decades ago. Zero chemicals, zero abrasive media, zero risk to the aluminum or the aged clear beneath. This is the kind of precision restoration work hand tools and sandpaper cannot touch — and it is the only dry ice blasting facility in the Sioux Falls area. Fall is here, and so is the season to prep classic and collector vehicles for long-term storage or final paint work before winter locks in. Whether you need underbody cleaning, engine bay degreasing, frame prep, or mold removal after fire damage, dry ice blasting reaches every corner without secondary waste or chemical runoff. Walk-ins welcome for estimates, or call ahead so we can plan the job and lock your spot.
