Ask around find out how many pro restoration shops blast exterior sheet metal. Found in fortune cookie where I somtimes go for lunch 'many recive advise, only the wise profit by it'
One advantage of blasting exterior sheet metal is you will learn all about oil cans and soft spots. You will also take a do or die crash course in shrinking sheet metal. If you have done blasting with out these problems and have nice straight panels with out a ton of filler and the above problems my hat if off to you. I just do not see how you can throw little rocks at sheet metal with out it stretching.
