Yes.

Sandblasting is the same as sanding, so yea. You'll probably have to start sanding from a pretty low grit to get them looking smooth though. I'd try 150, but that's a random guess without looking at them.

If your paper starts getting clogged really fast, just switch to a lower grit. Work your way up to 2000, then polish them and it will look like a mirror.
