I finished the second Aquanaut today.
I had to take the Olive keycaps from my Winghead to put them on the Aquanaut.
The Winghead has been my beater board for 6 years now (time flies), it is time for him to take a good rest 
You served well my loved Winghead but is time for you to retire!
I couldn’t help but take a few shots with both the Aquanauts while they are still together.
The Olive caps version will go on my work desk tomorrow.

Got a picture of an unevenly blasted surface. Even with slight variations such as this which is hard to pick up with a potatoe, there are coloration differences that can be seen.
Note: starting on the back right corner I did diagonal passes towards the back left.

I can see the diagonal gradients, this is so interesting !!!
Thank you for the information @beanns2 
I have a few questions for personal knowledge 
Would the gradient more visible when doing anodization ?
What are the correct way of blasting the part to prevent those issues ?
Out of curiosity, did you blast this piece yourself for demonstration ?

This would mainly be an issue for the color (or no color). Since black anodizing would even the look out a bit. However it shouldn’t make it worse but it wouldn’t remove it either.
Keeping the passes as even as possible, higher grit/more aggressive blasting can also help to even things out, and this usually helps with type 3 hard anodizing.
Yes, since I know here at my shop when we blast parts we need to try and keep everything as consistent as possible, and when they are not you can definitely see on the part.
