funny you bring this up, i have a thread from a week or two ago where i am trying to paint my naomi. I live in the US and i bought a small fifteen pound size soda blaster.
This one here:

i also bought a 50 lb bag of medium grade baking soda. I built the unit and it took the paint right off. Only i had to adjust the pressure to around 40-50 lbs not more than 60 because it started to scratch up the plastic.

I suggest you avoid my stupidity and just get it done by a professional. I'm already in this **** $130 with primer and everything, but i'm bondoing the spots up now and wishing i had just brought it to a professional to begin with.

check my thread for some status updates and pics
