Ummm, I would not recommend that. Just my 0.02. I cerakote and I do it 2-3 days a week. To me, your plan is a recipe for expense and possibly poor results. You have to soak in acetone and then blast. Then outgas the metal and heat it up to free up oils that have soaked in. If you have wet spots it goes back into the acetone then back to the oven until no more oil leeches out. If you make a mistake, or touch the item accidentally, or have a drip, you have to flash cure the item, blast the cerakote off, and start over. That means you would have to take it back to get blasted and pay even more for that. If I have to take a bet, your first time isn't gonna turn out right and it'll have to be blasted. By the time you do all of that you would have come out better paying $150 to get it done. Who knows though, it could turn out perfect for you the first time. BTW, you have to make sure they use 100-120 grit aluminum oxide or garnet when they blast it. Bead blasting doesn't etch it enough and coarser grit will etch it too much. Most blasting places don't keep 100-120 grit media either so it'll have to be ordered and shipped.
