I have a couple AL80s and i'm toying with the idea of doubling them up. They are both luxfer and about 5 years old. The only issue is right now they would make an ass ugly set of doubles, one is yellow and the other is flourescent green, both are painted not anodized.
I have access to a media blaster and I was thinking about blasting them with some sort of plastic/glass beads or maybe even crushed pecan shells...point being not to eat into the metal too much. But i'm not so sure this is a wise idea given the special pressures a scuba tank must endure. Will the blaster create too much heat and screw up the tempering? do you think it might eat away at the base metal too much? has anyone ever tried this before? should I take a wire brush and power drill to them instead?
