I recently had the fan housing cerakoted and now I want to do the transmission. On the fan housing I removed all the grease and oil and the shop that applied the cerakote blasted it withe 200 grit aluminium oxide in a cabinet and it came out great.
I will get all the grease and oil off the transmission, but the blasting will be done with 100 grit aluminum oxide outside of a cabinet. I believe I have protected everything but was a little concerned about 100 grit being to course.  |

I agree with all of the above comments
to the OP you will not keep 100% of the media out that media will in turn ruin your bearings and then you will be spending 2k on the rebuild in 2 years please if your going to blast... use dry ice or soda. something that will dissolve and definitely not a silica media. That is the wrong way of doing this job |
