sandblasting help

I plan on sandblasting my bike frame.

I have an aluminum trek 1420, and the frame is bonded so I do not want to use any chemical strippers. Nor do i want to hand sand the frame. I dont mind doing the small areas that i might not be able to reach with the blaster.
I will use acrylic beads as opposed to actual sand as it is less abrasive. And I found a place near by my house that rents out blasting booths for 1.50 a minute. Im thinking I will use gorilla tape to mask all the sensitive areas down.

Does this add up to you guys? Any thoughts? thx



oh the paintjob is ugly but i love the frame
