Jennie, did you ask your panel beater if he has re-sprayed cars that have been soda blasted before? Soda blasting leaves a residue on the metal which while it is good for slowing down surface rust from forming it must be totally cleaned off before any applying paint... if not the paint won't adhere properly to the metal and it will start to bubble and peel within 12mths.

and you really don't want to hear about how I know this......:cry:
