Don't know why you couldn't use sand or aluminum oxide. They aren't going to warp on you from heat and they are just steel. Granted, you'll need to make sure the pivot pins are clean. Semi-flat sounds right, but I'd prime with a self etching primer myself first, just to get a little smoother surface.
