I have the 72 stripped down and have done some work on the body. I keep wanting to go to bare metal over the whole car but have heard of horror stories about chemical bleed through....Have any of you guys done this?, I know the heater tubes in the longs will be gone but I don't plan on heat anyway. (don't really need it)
Is sandblasting more economical?, I really want to start fresh. Give me your thoughts..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks Chris |

One thing we've talked about in the VW side of the world is that dipping is NOT a good idea for a whole car. The reason is not so much that some of the dip will be left in the chassis but that it will strip any and all protective coatings/primers in the chassis, spaces and crevices that most likely are not easily accessable for recoating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Stick with media blasting. Blasting with baking soda, I've heard, works well too. |
