Default valve cover + sand blasting = ?

i have complete access to a sand blaster and all of the tools and air compressor to have it running. i was wondering if anyone has ever tried sandblasting there valve cover before and how it turned out? is it even a good idea to try it?

Talk to Running925...I think he has dealt with that before. He's doing my valve cover right now.
