Who among us has ever dipped a Teener? My project looks in prett good shape but I am scared of what I would get (or not get) back.

Chris,
My 6 is currently on a rotisserie. I asked my body shop which method to use; they said media blast only because they wouldn't guarantee any paint over a dipped car. Mainly because of residue. They suggested blasting with aluminum oxide. They claim it's kinder than sand blasting, because there's less heat, therefore less chance of panel warping. I found a shop in SoCal., they kept my chassis for 6 weeks and charged me $650. Then it was immediately covered with etch-primer. Another benefit was they were able to leave the original seam sealer and undercoating intact, only removing the paint and primer off those areas. BTW, my chassis had no rust so I didn't have that issue to deal with. Best of luck, Eddie |
