I would just try and see what works best. It's usually personal preference

Walnut Shells are usually used on Corvettes due to the softer Fiberglass underneath compared to metal. LEON.

we're used silica sand with good success, you just have to be careful not to sit in one place for too long. and keep the nozzle at an angle. I havent warped a panel, granted I also don't sandblast the middle of 1/4 panels on big cars like chargers either. I did do some 1/4s on a 65 barracuda once. but it was a short enough 1/4 that it wasnt a big deal.

I've use walnut shells before, and they work, but they're pretty spendy.
