Default Thinking of Duracoating 908 slide

I have already bought the materials to Duracoat the slide but I'm not ready to jump in yet. It is suggested that the metal be bead balsted prior to appliying the Duracoat to give the surface some bite for the paint to stick. The surface of the slide is already pretty rough and un-polished. Would this be enough bite for the paint? Also, if I remove the plastic sights will I be able to reinstall them? I guess I can just leave the sights on and mask them but am worried that the degreaser will melt them.
