Sand blasting WILL cause warpage. Yes, you "can" sandblast just about anything and not cause warpage, I personally don't want to take the chance. And YES, I have had a "pro" destroy a couple of 32 Ford doors once.
It is not caused by the heat, it is caused by as Mike said, by "micro peening". A sand blast warped panel is all but trash, I don't want to take the chance personally.
Now, this is with SAND, walnut shells, plastic, soda, these are all different animals and don't have the weight behind them to "peen" it.
