I am considering getting my car dipped to strip off everything to bare metal. After stripping they dip it again to neutralize and then again for rust inhibitor.
Has anyone done this? If so what was the charge? I have a place near my house in Miami that will do it for $2800. Does that seem high? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

It will dissolve the heater tubes. You will also need to E-cote the chassis. Dipping strips all the seems and inner channels to bare metal. These will rust unless you put some protective coating back on. Epoxy or etch primer wont flow to all these spots. Plan on $5-6K when all done.

I agree, no dipping! media blast the sheetmetal, sand blast the underneath, some are even doing the blasting with dry ice to avoid all of the media debris
