Paint stripping/e-coating auto body near Houston, TX?
Looking for a place near Houston Texas to have a complete body dipped, stripped, and e-coated - anyone have any leads?
Thanks,
Edward

e: Paint stripping/e-coating auto body
Eddie,
I don't know of a current place to get it stripped, but e-coating is only available at the manufacturer's level due to the expense and complexity. If you do get it dipped, know that the liquid gets in every hidden area. If its not rinsed (neutralized) properly, it will eventually destroy whatever coating you put on top of it. Ask for referrals, and try to find someone who has already painted their car, and ask them if they've had any problems.
Where are you in Houston?

I'm in the Garden Oaks/Heights area.
I found a few places that would strip and e-coat the shells, but didn't want to ship it out of state (closest one I can find is 400+ miles away) ... Starting to sound like my only option though. You'd think in a city the size of Houston that we'd have something like that.
