I'm going to chime in because I had a very similar problem setting new BMW points a few years ago. Kurt already mentioned that they could be bogus and they very well could be.

I soda blasted a set of snow flakes for my S bike and thought it worked great. A lot safer than bead blast and it didn't seem to hurt the lawn. Harbor freight sells bulk soda bags for cheap and Napa sells a nifty gun with a pot that looks like a paint gun for around $50US. The gun is more expensive ...
