Dipping / E-Coating

[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

I had my 67 chevelle media blasted and it was great,a friend of mine restored a 57 nomad and had it dipped,he had lots of problems,something to do with the acid and other chemicals used in the process.When he painted the car he had problems with paint and primer in places.He was able to overcome all the problems and the nomad came out finished and looked beautiful.He also uses all ppg products on all his painting projects.He just completed a 61 bubble top and it was media blasted and it is a beautiful car also.He and I have talked a lot on this subject and he prefers media blasting over dipping.He does about 3 to 4 cars a year so he knows what he is doing at this.I have seen other cars that have been dipped and they all look great.A couple owners stated the same problems when painting process began,some chemical reactions to primer and paint.Others had no problems.I think if you have a car dipped be looking to experience some type of chemical reactions to products used.
