    Media blasting is OK for the body panels.

    Sand would ONLY be used on frame rails to remove rust. Way too agressive for sheet metal.

    baking soda is another choice for your blasting needs.

    It's part of the Media Blasting family. Very gentle on sheetmetal. Instead of sand, you blast baking soda....
