It should lighten it up, but I would follow what BMCM did and knock down the high spots first with sand paper. Maybe start with 60psi and dial it up to 70psi if necessary. You may also be able to lighten without blasting using a fine scotch-brite pad.

I'm not sure when your disassembled slide picture was taken in the previous post, but the extractor should be removed before blasting.
