We just had this 69 Hemi Bee e coated yesterday, thought I would share some pics.
Before

After

Where did you have it done?

what's an E-coat?

Where did you have it done? In the Indy area?

Give us some more facts. Cost, location, etc.. I'd like to do this to my GTX.

Thanks

Can we get some specifics on the hemi bee? That has to be in my top 3 all time favorite cars.

I hope you have better luck with your e-coating then me.
My doors are swelling out at the seam on the bottom because all the stripper was not neutralized correctly.
I was told that it was from electrolisis forming in there from the stripper growing in the seams.
These were a set of rust free doors that I had done.
I also had some spots on my fenders that was not covered with the e-coat because there was air bubbles trapped in the top corners. The fenders are doing fine after the process though and I just sprayed some undercoating in the bare spots.

Do you have any before pics you can post for me. I'd really appreciate it if you could. If so, thanks for responding and going out of your way for a cerified super bee nut

Here it is at Dragway 42 in Ohio in the late 70's!
We need to get better pictures of the pictures from the owner.

Does that car belong to Ron in MI? Lives about a 3 miles from me, but it's been away awhile.

The EDP or E-coat process is done through Dorn Autocraft in New Castle, IN. You can email us at info@dornautocraft.com
Thanks, Brad
And Kid, yes it is Ron's!

Do you have to scuff the e-coat prior to priming or is there a certaing primer that will stick to it?

PPG claims you can paint over this without scuffing. It was baked for 45 minutes at 390-410 degrees. We always scuff!
How's it going Dave?

Different opinions on what to do with the e-coating, just like when buying a reproduction panel. Scuff it with Scotch Brite, scuff it with sandpaper, remove it on the outside, etc.
I assume you would scuff a little rougher if you were to apply a skim coat of filler for blocking.

Going good here, busy though.

I left a satellite of mine outside with the e-coated quarters... I epoxied the seams where I welded and a few spots. Well where the ecoat was, its all surface rust now, where the epoxy went over it, looks just like when sprayed.

I can't see spending what it probally cost to get it done... I'd rather did a car in epoxy to get it into the frame and such then spray the rest.
