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) |

It depends on the chassis. If it's a nice dry country chassis, no way. If it's very rusty and you are going to replace a lot of metal, maybe.
The problem with dipping have been mentioned, but the problem with e-coat is the boxed sections with the Faraday effect. I have not personal experience, I just did some research for a current project (car that had been dipped). A bridge too far for me. I'll just do my own corrosion treatment and hope for the best. |
