Just remember by dipping parts there are going to be areas you will never get a new coating back on. There for it will be raw metal. I don't think acid dipping is the way to go. There is other dipping ways besides using acid!

I’m not dipping anything that I can’t coat thouroughly with anti rust. Eastwood has that fogged nozzle that you hook to there anti rust coating. I was gonna put it in holes in the trunk lid between the seams and the same on the hood and fog it all over and turn the part and do it again and again as I rotate the part. You really think rust will be an issue after that. For that matter I could take a gallon of rustoleum and just pour it in the seam acces holes and shake the hood and trunk around until it’s coated then just let the body man get the excess off the outside before painting. Do these not sound like good ideas

Was just saying yesterday on a post he did on FB that I should go down there and take a peek at his projects and work. Joe seems like a good guy and am curious to see how the shop works. Seen pics of finished projects, and they seem like quality work.

As for the internal frame coating and anti-rust sprays Eastwood has, they work well. Yes, the trick is to cover areas entirely to prevent corrosion, though in many areas you can only guess if you have adequate coverage. You have to try to get it into seams, joints, and bends, which can be difficult in some areas. Spraying large flat surfaces can be a challenge. It's suggested to apply after paint, so no paint chemicals wash it off. That too can make a mess, so have to be mindful/careful of that.

Usually when dippers dip parts, after they go thru a wash/bath, and a type of corrosion inhibitor. Bare metal would flash almost instantly, so they do that so they don't get complaints, for one. Ask.
