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) |

I wish there was one, great way to remove paint but there isn't. Soda, plastic media and dry ice all work on paint. sand, coal slag or dupont's media for rust. media gets inside of seams and crevices. Dustless blasting/wet media leaves sand or glass inside nooks and crannies that can rust later. Most blasting won't remove seam sealer. Dipping isn't great for a unibody, even if you e-coat.
It also depends where you live and the time of year. We get flash rust within a day or two unless its winter time. |
