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.

I have dealt with two dipped cars up close and personal. The dipping isn't going to remove anything that isn't already pretty much gone. The biggest issue is removing the heater tubes. Also, get ready for a big paint quote. Once it's dipped you need to prep and paint every surface. I would budget $8 - $10k for a dipped chassis for a nice paint job. Painting the interior/trunks/underside/engine bay is WAY more work than painting the outside.

You can go all the way to about 18K for such a paint job speaking from experience... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  |
