This is a purely hypothetical thread. You see I love my teener, and, I'd like to use it as a daily, cause I'm sure I can get 35-40 mpg from it. I live in northern Utah.... so It would see it all, heat, rain, AND snow, I'll be using a set of the new diamond shaped studded Hakka's for winter. Nokian
I get it, some of you think that this is a stupid thought, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) but I'm one of those sicko's that loves snow driving, so I'll deal with the ridicule. Have all the fun with me you can on this one, turn it loose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Oh, If you don't think it will work, why? |

QUOTE(pete-stevers @ May 26 2010, 01:45 PM)  porsche did it...what type of process did they use? electroplate for a fine finish with little heat. this provides a much more uniform fine grained surface (better for paint) hot dip is cruder coating, often very thick and un-even, very large grains) frankly whay not make a new body out of stainless steel???? the delorefourteen!!! |

Similar paint adherence issues/problems on SS - as some using the SS rockers have posted on here. Note the positive & negative charged primer in that Porsche paint process write-up which I posted above is the e-plate process essentially, although it differs from s step chrome plating obviously (copper-nickel-chrome). BTW - Zinc Chromate is a good sprayable rust preventative treatment, but it's hard to get done anywhere in California nowadays. Other states & the Canucks & Euro-land are following with enviro-friendly paints & coatings, so all of these processes are getting more scarce & therefore more expensive.
