We recently had a few bits from my Hundred soda blasted (the guy has a 
mobile unit, and specializes in graffiti removal).  The aluminum splash pan 
turned out perfectly; the rusty seats less so.  We'll ask him to try using 
either a different medium or a higher pressure on the next rusty bits. 
We've seen a T-bird done by a different local guy (in his shop, not on-site) 
and it turned out beautifully--but I don't know what medium he used.
