Yes I sandblasted and applied it my self.
I do nearly everything my self.
Its a little uneven because I got impatiant and put the turbine houseing on my propane stove burner and applied the water based coating. The water base was taking too long to dry.
This coating buffs out to look like polished aluminum. So if anything the turbine housing will look really good.
I used half a bottle so far to do the HE351VE turbine housing, still need to find something that can reach down inside the torus (inside the snail shell) and the exhaust manifold to apply the coating. Something like a small square of dish sponge on a wire, old tooth brush.
The Banks exhaust manifold will get slightly modified then sand blasted this afternoon and possibly coated.
