Default Re: Dip Painting ?s

I haven't played with it in several years, because just spraying the part is so much easier, but I've had pretty good luck with GM reconditioning paint (gallon cans came ready-to-spray) with about a 1" thick floating layer. Check the runs on your crossmember to see which dipping orientation you need to use, for a crossmember, a vertical dip would have to use a 55-gallon can to hold enough water.

Good luck! BCD.
