It'll take a lot of work with a portable blaster, and a bunch of media. I use Black Diamond. It cuts well, but takes time and patents. And you'll be getting sand where you normally don't.

If you want to do it yourself, scrape as much of the flaky stuff off first. If you aren't going to be using the blaster for much more than the blade, you may be money ahead to just have it done professionally.
It would also be easier to get everything cleanly blasted and re-painted if you disassemble the blade, springs from the subframe.
