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) |

The biggest problem with dipping a 914 is all the seams that will be exposed by the dipping process. The seam sealer will all be eaten away exposing the seams to infiltration by the dipping agent. A problem if you don't completely remove the dipping chemical. It will weep out with time from all your seams and ruin the paint work. Mechanical cleaning sounds way better to me.
