HELP!!!! Turbo housings ruined?

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Guys I had my turbo housings ceramic coated to reduce heat outside, and increase performance. Well I made it clear to the guys that I wanted the housings masked off inside where the turbines butt up against. BUT GUESS WHAT, they didnt! So now the housings are COMPLETELY ceramic coated, even on the faces of the housings where there's thousandths of an inch clearance.
So now Im stuck with having to figure out how to clean the stuff off of those surfaces. I could use a wire wheel brush on a die grinder and give that a shot, and I have the ability to sand blast too, but Im afraid of ruining the housings or the coating.
WHAT CAN I DO?????

I need ideas right away guys or Im going to have to call these guys and let them know their screw up. I didnt notice it until I got home. Can I safely remove the coating with an abrasive or not? I dont want to damage the housings.

I would tell them to fix it. Usually the shops that can apply ceramic coatings can also remove it to re-apply.

They put it on.... They can and will have to take it off... They make the mistake... Not you. Do you have this in writing on some type of agreement?

I'd let them handle it. I would think that anything abrasive enough to completely take off ceramic would take off metal too.

Like they said.... Hey you need to fix this....

Hey guys, I talked to Russ about it quite a bit last night. He told me to take it back to them as well, until I explained the place was an hour and a half drive from me. Then he explained if I took emery cloth and gently sanded just until I got thought the ceramic I'd be okay. So thats what I did.
I called them today and I never got to talk with anyone about it but I left several messages, and Im going to make them credit me for the mistake, and my time repairing it. Because I will be bringing some headers and manifolds from my camaros and my brothers mustang out there sometime.

Check out my new thread of the finished product!

Looks to me like they coated the studs too. Good luck getting the nuts on I guess.
