Disclosed herein are methods of modifying a nitinol surface by using abrasive blasting techniques. The surface modification can be performed by abrasively blasting the surface and delivering at least one dopant from one or more fluid jets to cause the at least one dopant to impregnate and/or coat the nitinol surface. The nitinol surface can form a portion or all of a medical device, such as an implantable medical device, e.g., a stent.
