    I'n not sure how big of a part you are talking about, but try doing just two passes, over and back, pretty quickly. Do the whole part this way and check your results, and go back over (the whole part) if needed. I haven't done this with bigger parts, but on smaller parts I have had issue with uneven blasting, the unevenness is magnified by anodizing.
