good paint suppliers can make up rattle cans, they are much better quality.
Trick is to only blast the top. At work we use glass beads to do a lot of alloy parts but again only the outside.
Vapour blasting is good but not many people do it so you either have to post or travel which is a pain.
Another way I have stripped one is with paint stripper and a brass brush which can make a mess.
