what's an E-coat?
It's electrically applied primer , the entire car is dipped in a vat of the paint, does the entire car , it's not cheap ...

Can we get some specifics on the hemi bee? That has to be in my top 3 all time favorite cars.
Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

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. Brad

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?

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.

It may also depend on the coater! The place I use is the only place in North America that the Military will use because of their strict guidelines on the treating/cleaning processes. The Ecoat is PPG epoxy! I have seen panels ecoated by other companys that looked terrible! I personally wouldn't leave a primered car or part outside in the weather. We were told years ago by the PPG reps that epoxy IS porous and UV rays will break it down. It should be top coated if it is to be subjected to the elements of nature! Also any time you have two pieces of metal sandwiched together you are not going to get fluid between those panels unless there is a slight gap or seperation for air and fluid to flow. There will always be some form of rust between pinchwelds and laps unless they are unfolded or cut apart and cleaned or there is enough gap for fluid and air to flow! A gray scotchbrite or equivelant is all that is needed to lightly scuff the surface for the topcoat or filler/glaze to "bite". Brad
