I have heard sheetmetal parts are prone to distorting with certain types of media such as sand. What is the best type of blast media to use on a hood in order to keep the metal as straight as possible?

Yep I used water ! Nobody believes it except the rental company that loaned me the washer and their yard. Monday morning they came in and metal flake was every where.
