Marty, when media blasting a body or panels care has to be taken or the heat 
of the stripping will warp the panels and depending on the media it can pit 
the surface too.  Baking Soda is pretty safe, as are a couple of others as long 
as you take it slow and keep the pressure down.  But for heavens sake DON'T 
use sand on anything you want to be straight or have a nice finish on.  The 
biggest problem, in my opinion, is people get in too big a hurry and use too 
coarse a media with too high air pressure.  The combination of which will leave 
you 
doing more work that stripping the paint with a brush on chemical & scraper.
