Any one have a cab media blasted

[djgebert]

I have a cab I want stripped and I have gotten a couple of conflicting opinions from the local guys. All three I contacted are about the same price ($100+/- of each other), but all three recommend different methods. One says that soda blastng is the best way to go. One says that a small glass bead is what he uses and it leaves the finish on the metal at about 80 grit. The third and longest in business (20+ yrs) says he will bake the cab for awhile if the surface is bad, if not he just strips it. He says he uses plastic beads. His opinion is that the people have been having paint adhesion problems after soda blasting. I am just wondering who has had any of these methods performed in the past and which one is "best". Thanks!!
