Default Is sandblasting enough to prepare the inside of an exhaust manifold?

I want to do a ceramic coating on the inside of an exhaust manifold and I was wondering if sandblasting was enough. It seems to me like it would be hard to get all the areas on the inside. Is there anything else I should do to prep the inside of the manifold prior to ceramic coating? Thanks everyone.

No its not.

You need to get 110% of the barbon out of the thing. Use muradic acid. rinse, blow some cotton rags thru it with air, clean some more.etc..
