Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have been looking at a small table top blasting cabinet for my shop, that and possibly powdercoating for some small parts....possibly even the calipers eventually. Which media would be best to blast with ??
I tried once with horrible results but I haven't thrown in the towel.

I wish someone could invent a procedure to powder coat PU/Plastic parts like the side air vents...to make it even more complicated, with a chrome (or maybe nickel) finish.
But I won't give up, I know, someday it will be possible
YouTube is your friend here, watch videos and pick out which method suits what you are trying to do. For calipers, I never liked blasting them unless you take them completely apart as the sand or other media gets into everything no matter how you try to seal it off.
I have had good success with the Eastwood system. Getting it right didn't see that hard and it was fun to learn. The temps are not that high and I have been using a toaster oven that we had laying around. I have picked up a regular electric oven with the hope of doing some wheels.
I've been pondering the Eastwood system for redoing wheels (and the 911's door handles). Went with Eastwood's 2K spray paint to try on the handles first, however. If it works well then I'm using that on the rollbar cover.
