I do sodablasting I do a lot of blasting for the local body shops in my area. I have done vettes merceds old mercs etc. I am not a total expert but I got a pretty good resume. In answer to paint not sticking after sodablasting. I know all the jobs I have done you wash the car down warm water and dishwashing liquid or vinegar and water. It is no big deal. I highly recommend sodablasting over the other types of blasting. 1 you can rinse away soda it will displace 2 It is totally harmless to enviro 3 The finish is excellent. Don't get me wrong sand dose have it's place as dose other types of media's. The jobs I have done where I have encountered rust those areas where gonna get cut out. The areas that had just surface rust the body shops I worked with would use a DA on it and prep the area accordingly. Hope this helps you.
