Depends on the media in the Vapor hone. I use a fairly fine glass. ( won't remove rust ect)

Take a Look at Level 1 dry ice blasting. That won't remove any material. And will leave plating intact. ( one of the best benefits imo )

Lynn,

Got any pics of your backing plates? I cleaned the plates from my 67 L79 with nothing more than the parts washer and Boshield. I still maintain they are cad plated.

Walnut sheals ? (never tried for that application) JohnZ mentioned many years ago RIP, which I've used quite a lot is glass beading at a low 25PSI which works well when trying to keep the same texture/look.
