soda blasting , has anyone had this done to strip thier cars down to metal -- the idea is that it doesn't heat up the netal and possibly distort it .. also doesn't blast right through bondo so it can be dealt with on a area by area basis .

any thoughts , expirances and what did it cost you ?

I emailed a place locally here in Northern Virginia - they quoted me $1000 to blast the exterior of my 914 and epoxy prime it - this was a quote via email. This shop also told me that heat is not an issue and the metal of a car varies much more just sitting in the sun - any potential metal warpage comes from the pending of the blast material against the metal and they said this can happen with any blast material.
