...blow old paint, grease and oil from parts. Consider the flame spray machine Cat uses at Shrewsbury. Inside a tightly sealed booth, a nozzle attached to a robotic arm shoots out a constant spray of what look like white-hot sparks - picture a particularly robust Roman candle - onto a row of four cylinder heads. What it's actually spraying, however, is molten metal, adding a new 1-mm-thick layer of chrome or nickel to the head.
