    There are a nmber of places around town that do this and some are even mobile and will come to you.
     
    I would speak a number of them and go visit them in action as if they don't take their time and do small sections at a time on each panel they will heat up and distort.
     
    Also you may want to do more homework on whether you want soda blasting as it is Sodium Bicarbonate (very similar to salt) so if you don't remove it all after blasting you run the risk of it causing you car to rust faster.  I have also heard that it is not abrasive enough too.
     
    Like anything, speak to those have done it before and get recomendations.
     
    Good luck

    Just remember Soda blasting will only remove paint, so not rust/bog etc..
    Great for things where you dont want any damage.
    eg: Things like brake callipers you can actually soda blast with rubber brake seals left in and they wont be affected. 

    Sand blasting is much more abrasive and will remove rust, bog, thin rusted metal etc. While Soda is far less abrasive and will only remove paint. So really you may use both methods where needed.
     
    The benifit of Soda over Sand i think is with Sand blasting it gets everywhere and doesnt dissolve. So you'll always have bits of sand in crevices, and hard to get at places no matter ho hard you try to get it out. While Soda blasting dissolves and you dont get this problem.
