The car has to be mounted to their fixtures. The more you can have bolted on the car body the better. Car doors can be put on a smaller fixture to be dipped. I shimed the fenders with washers so the ecoat could get in between. The more they have to rig up on the fixtures the more it cost you. When I had mine done, they tried to do one car a month. They scheduled you a day to bring it in at 9:00am and you were done by 3:00pm. I had mine done 2 years ago and have not seen any problems yet.

I like the e-coat and it's protective covering but I will Not go thru this headache again. I have some 36 ply coupe fenders, hood and grill surround that I would like to get e-coated so I am wondering now about the chemical strip first. I will not do the parts that have wood in them but want to do the other stuff that doesn't. I have taken stuff to american metal cleaning before. I wasn't happy with the handling of the parts as they did get more dents in them but dents are easier to take care of then the electrolisis. How would you do these items Quicksilver?? David you can send a pm if you want.

When you get his wife you better have KY available. Shes the most rude/ crude person i have ever met and will break it off in you anyway possible. He will make sure your parts are taken care of. she on the otherhand could give a sh*t less.

I do know they picked up a coupe body by the 1/4 windows and messed up the body on a friends 37 chevy. They gave him the dip for free and he had to repair the body himself. He even asked them NOT to lift it that way and they aggreed to it. Oh well I guess there isn't too many places around that does this kind of work so it is what it is. David

Theres just as much risk media blasting though. The nice thing about dipping is everywhere is clean not just were you can get a nozzle. The biggest problem i see with stripping is getting the acidic stuff all washed out and neutralized.

Media doesn't remove any rust . Dipping removes it all . I have cars that were dipped 8 years ago without issue . The most important thing is to get them clean after dipping and use plenty of epoxy primer . here is a pic of TA340's car after paint . 5772071-065.JPG (234 downloads)
