"I've heard" soda blasting can come back to haunt you due to the soda lime media. The soda has to be neutralized as it can leave the surface with an alkali pH which can come back to haunt you. It can be successful, but you have to neutralize it.

Better to plastic media blast it.

Probably depends on the company who does the dipping. I had my my 69 rag top dipped in 1990 and still shows no signs of anything negative.
