Default Re: Acid dipping?

no kidding..i had a 66 nova decklid stripped years ago. they dipped it, neutralized it, and primed it for me..was impressed....got busy with work..it sat in my shop for 6 or 7 months and i saw a wet spot on a corner on the upper skin...ignored it a month later it was bigger...investigated and there was a dark spot... poked it and it was a hole...and the metal was paper thin...and by the time i was done i had about a handful of junk that was paint and acid that was trapped and the dipper didnt get it clean...ruined a 400 dollar arizona deck lid and was a lesson

by the time i paid shipping..for the deck lid and the cost of dipping it was about a 650 dollar lesson...dont dip anything is what i learned...keeping the tank clean is a big deal and most dont..ive seen lines on parts where it sat in 8 or 9 inches of sludge in a tank...i just personally would never do it...theres better options and its very expensive around here
