Acid dipping

[23corner_blitz]

Sorry to hear that Charley. I guess every car is different. Mine has had paint on it for 2 years and I've not had a single issue arise. I don't think Andrew has either, although I could be wrong. I'll say this though....the acid dipping process is getting mighty expensive. 7 years ago my shell was $1800 to dip. I don't want to guess what it is today.

Roman, the place that did mine is; International Paint Stripping in Romulus, Michigan (734)942-0500.

Did the co. change to Redi-Coat?

You know I think they did or Redi-Coat is a side business of theirs. Interesting. Nice to know the process is still around. Mine was originally done by a company called Carponents but they pretty much just picked up and delivered the vehicles (essentially doing all the leg work for you).

$2500 bones to do a shell like mine. Wow. Not much of a deal anymore.

I was told of "Dry
Ice" is being used to strip,anyone seen/had this done?

The process is called FlashJet, it was developed to strip paint off aircraft. When I worked for the Navy back in the late 90's, it was used at Naval aviation Depot Jacksonville. The process is very expensive and I haven't heard of anyone using in the automotive stripping industry. http://www.flashtech-inc.com/Process.htm

The bodies are dipped at International Paint Stripping, and the building next door to them is Redi-Coat. Which does the e-coating. I had my shell done there back in 2005, but my parts was done at a local company in Dayton. The local company quality is far superior to Redi-coat. Although, I think most people's problems is not with the stripping process, but with the preparation.
