Dry Ice Blasting X-Metal to Remove Oxidation?

[southside]

I'm wondering if anyone has access to a Dry Ice Blasting equipment that would be willing to try to remove oxidation from a Bone Plasma Juliet.

For those that work with refinishing X-Metals, is removing the oxidation possible without affecting the underlying finish? Could dry ice blasting work?

I want to try to clean up a couple Bone Plasma frames with serials and I don't want to lose the serial.

You can refinish X Metals to factory look without losing the serial number.

Without the masking "box" around the serial?

@zwc0442 ... If it can be done Zach would know...

Nothing really can be done once it's corroded aside from refinishing. The bone plasma finish is a plating on top of the titanium. Once it's corroded nothing can really be done to make it look any better without refinishing.

Does that mean you need to strip the plating?
Can you duplicate the Bone Plasma finish?

Yes I can replicate it nearly exactly. But the serial number would probably be lost. I can try to mask it for refinishing but depending on the frame the plating will not be adhered and when prepping to refinish the area where the serial is engraved can peel off the frame. The plating is reasonably thick on the 1st gen plasma and titanium frames.
