This is after 1 hour of blasting needless to say the first job was done ****ty the final product will be outstanding though it will be coated with powderChrome then hit with 3 coats of Translucent Purple and will have that nice deep Anodized look will post pics
here it is finally ready for the new coat has been blasted washed rinsed all the above and has came out perfect next step new coating

If he's blasting the valve cover you'll have to remove the baffles to clean them out!!! There's a few threads on here with a how to. I don't care how many times you wash it you'll never get them cleaned out until you remove the baffles!!!
