I believe the glass beads do more of a cleaning job. They dont really dig into the metal at all which is the whole point. So whatever finish it has, it will end up with, the part will just be clean and stripped. At least that’s what I think. ---

no matter what u blast with this finish will be slightly rough. the courser the media the rougher it will be. but there is soda blasting which a completely different… i dont know a hole lot about it. i’ve done some i stress some. i know they have used it on body panels and can strip paint layer by layer without harming the next or any warpage. but thats as far as my knowledge goes. but i’m sure some one will jump in that can give all scientific data on it. ---

combine hank and lance’s post and you have the good info you need. sand blasting will give you that rough “cast-aluminum” finish. you can smooth the finish out with different media, which will smooth the roughness down. bead blasting, etc etc. ---

They dont really dig into the metal at all which is the whole point. So whatever finish it has, it will end up with, the part will just be clean and stripped. At least that’s what I think. but it won’t be completely smooth I dont believe. it also varies on the shape of the item being blasted, your not going to get beads into cracks and crevices ---
