Those do look nice. I typically bead blast and then tumble Al and Mg. I can control the surface sheen with media and various techniques and I like that the media micro-peens the surface to seal it. The Mg 915 below is 2 years done and still glows. My sense is the vapor blaster will shorten the time I need to get to the final finish and sometimes give me a final finish.
