What happens is that you peen the surface, distorting it, in comparison to the off side. Even if you try to peen the other side, with the beads, it never comes out even, in my experience.
Glass bead is not aggressive enough (wrong media) for the removal of epoxy paint.
That, along with excessive air pressure is a recipe for disaster.
