Sent my 200x jug to G and H paid them $20 extra to bead blast it Didn't think they was going to blast the gasket surface. I can see what looks like scratches but can't feel any thing with my finger or nail. Gasket surface was nice and shiny now it's dulled. Called them and they said just put it together they have done hundreds of jugs this way. What do y'all think do I just put it together?

As long as they didn't deform the mating surface by holding the blasting nozzle in one spot for minutes, I wouldn't worry. With aluminum, you can do more damage scraping the old gasket with a razor blade if you're not careful.

Perfectly normal and acceptable.

That crosshatch looks really nice. Quality work.
