That color sure beat the doo doo brown it was painted. IMO They painted it all at once in two booths so the color matched best. The shop lights are very impressive. Would they help with picking things out

I have no idea.  Around here the options are sand (usually not sand but a crushed glass or aluminum oxide media), soda or dry ice. 

Of the cars that come in and get torn down, it is always sand.... and it is everywhere 20 or more years after the blasting took place.

I also don't believe the "walnut won't warp panels" thing. I'd say it is "less likely to". Even soda blasting will warp a panel if done poorly enough.  I have a W113 pagoda trunk lid anyone can inspect if they say otherwise.  

Wouldn't the trapped media collect moisture and accelerate rust?
