Guest thinkmonkey Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 How much do acid dips generally cost, say at Redistrip? -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 are you sure an acid dip is something you want to do? acid trapped in small pockets, crevaces and cracks can stay there for a long time after the dip, and affect chassis rigidity.

V8ZRACER260Z Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 That's true! I'd recommend a walnut shell or equivalent to strip away the paint & rust. It's much less caustic and will not leave deposits that will come back to haunt you down the road. This typically costs around $300-$400 here in Florida.

Sparky Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 woh there! acid diping is bad...hmm K! i did this to several parts on my plymouth valiant over five years ago....and i still have a problem with the paint not sticking on seams and corners. its a real PITA..it might seem like a goodidea..but think about all the little tiny crevases and what not that will forever be without paint...and will always lurch caustic chemicals when it rains or gets moist. dont do it....you best bet is soda blasting...or walnuts shells. try to stay away from sand blasting or other really harsh medias as the operator may or may not have the experiance to keep from warping panels if he works the same spot for a while. and remember Z cars are fun! just keep your wallet out at all times. laterZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
