Anyone is the fort worth area where I can find a place that will sand blast the part for me? I called a few body shops in the area but couldnt find one. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

alright i called a few places in the area before they closed and apparently aluminum oxide is not popular media for blasting

its not supposed to be colorless after blasting. just a shot or 2 of it on the inside of piston and on the other piece

What you really need is a place that does soda or plastic media blasting. Just as a alternative source, most powder coating places also do blasting too.

i talked to a guy that does soda blasting and said the grit would be around 120 and from the DIY is said it should be between 70-90. Could i get away with the soda?

If they turn the pressure lower it will work, the PMB (plastic media blasting would be the best (least pitting) method. I found this place, whether they would be wiling to do it for you is anyone's guess. Give them a call and see.
