I am getting my kombi project sodablasted.
From what i have heard it is the best method.
The only disadvantage is that is does not remove rust,
so sandblasting in selected areas is needed.
I got quoted roughly $2,000 for my kombi.(roughly without looking at it)
Hope that helps.

now in primer
I used Jason and must say I was impressed. He had the Ghia collected and delivered back in under a week. all for $2000 Body & Pan inside and out.
Now my one owner looks a little worse for ware as it has uncovered some expected rust spots. I have Chris Rolfe from Innovative Body Works coming
over to have a look, I want a number of little things done to it beside the rust,, but the rust around the headlights might make my decision to go
with early model headlight buckets a bit easier?

Dry as a powder, like any other abrasive medium. The soda crystals aren't very hard though, so they break up when hitting the metal, which is why
it's gentler than sandblasting.

Soda blasting is applied dry, and has to be final washed off with warm water. Then the surface Deoxidined.
If you don't wash it with warm water, then primers will not stick properly.
