I much preferd sandblasting now as I find it also gives a great surface for the primer/paint to adhere.

As for you pictures I initialy thought they were PIAT bombs. Boy was I disapointed to see they were Iltis parts.
If you parkerize or phosphate the parts first after blasting, paint will adhere far better than on any other preparation.
