Looks great!!!

This may have been asked in 22 pages of posts so please excuse me but what did you use to strip the shell of the old paint and primer?

Is the paint you used a single stage or a clear-coat?

Dipped and epoxy primed immediately afterwards. Single stage. If you want any more detail than that, you're gonna have to go look at the first 22 pages. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

It's Tangerine. Or a really reasonable facsimile.

I'm just paying the bills for the metal and paint work. You're actually doing yours yourself. Your the hero man...

Here's another pic for ya. This one looks more like what the color really looks like. Reds and oranges are so hard to get decent color pictures of.

Please excuse the stupid question but I've been wondering about it for a long time and haven't really had the chance to ask someone who's actually dipped a car.

When you acid dip a car, the solution goes all over the place, inside and behind, in areas that will never see the light of day and that you also won't be able to get to with primer unless you dip the car in primer (i.e. inside the windshield frame, the longitudnals, etc.). Since you don't dip prime a car, how do you prevent the windshield frame and the rest of these areas from rusting from the inside out?

I've heard of places that dip in a zinc bath.

IMHO, it's not really necessary unless you're planning on driving your car underwater. Those areas might get superficial surface rust, but without a significant source or moisture they're not going to rust significantly. It's a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with the 'writing checks' thing. I think I'll be doing it that way next time!

Speaking of next time: I'll be dipping the tub on my next 914 (whatever engine I end up with)

Just seems like a MUCH better place to start. This paint removal is for the birds!

Did you paint that yourself in the driveway/garage?

Cut apart a 914 sometime. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Those areas "that will never see the light of day" don't tend to rust. As Mark said, they get some superficial surface rust, but nothing that ends up structural.

I'm writing the checks, remember? Troy's shop is behind his house. He has a rather large garage attached to the house though in which one side is setup for exclusive use as a paint booth.

IF I ever do this again, it will be soda blasted and not acid dipped.

there are a number of areas that have 2,3, and maybe more layers of metal sandwiched together. the raw ends got sealent smeared over them to close and seal the gap. my guess is the dip method would remove all of it. you would be leaving lots of exposed seams(many you couldn't get to now) for the rust to do its thing all over again, in areas that were fine previously.

Do a search Doug. We've discussed this to death in the past. There is at least one and maybe more threads in the last 12 months for sure where it was discussed ad nauseum.
