last time I looked into alkaline stripping and e-coating,it would cost close to $5k to do a 55 Porsche 356 ,so $2700 is way too good to be true, you need to understand that they actually submerge the shell into a tub to coat it,not spray, none of the inaccessible areas would be treated and will rot in a hurry if someone stripped by dipping the car and just spraying primer ,Also there is a big difference between acid dip and alkaline dip to strip and that's probably where you got your $2700
