Blasted it with 80 grit glass in my cabinet. Rough satin..then bead blast, my version of Jerry's DC. It's pretty darn smooth bro. Darn close to factory!:D

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your cabinet and compressor? Is that all that is needed?

Cabinet came from Harbor Freight ($100.00), compressor was from Sears ($500.00). The compressor I got is to run my air tools, for working on cars. I'm not sure you would need something it's size to do beadblasting, so I imagine you could go smaller and less expensive.
 
Looking good brother! Looking Good! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Excellent! That's a great ending to an already kick-a$$ project! :thumbup:

I think I saw on the other thread that you attached the reworked slabs while the coating was still on. I've been trying to catch a glimpse of it in your pics after you stripped it, peeking out from between the steel and slabs, but I don't see it at all. Maybe it's there and I just can't tell from the photos. Can you see it at all?

Thanks everyone...I had a good time doing it. :D

As far as the coating "peeking out", no you can't see it. Between the sanding and the bead blasting, there isn't anything showing.
