Title kinda says it.
I soda blasted the middle of my hubs. The front is acceptable. But it doesn't look really good like I was hoping for. You know. Like new.
The back looks like I didn't touch it. When I was blasting it I kept checking my blaster to make sure there was soda coming out. I couldn't see it doing much of anything.
And yes I did use aircraft paint stripper first.
The front is a 73 TX750 hub. I could see the clear coat peal off of that. The back is a 72 XS2 hub. I seen no peeling with that. Did they not clear the backs.
I'm getting ready to sand blast all my other black paintable parts. I though about redoing the hubs. Will glass beads work for both the hubs and the black parts such as triple trees.
Here's what I have available locally.

Or is these hubs as good as they are going to get. Does yours look any better. Pics would be great. Especially of the back hub.
