ECOAT !!
Hey Jim,
You may want to check out ECoating. E-coating is what the OEM's do now-a-days for frames, chassis pieces, and engine components (oil pans, valve covers, etc.) It is the same *idea* as powder coating (negative/positive charge), but it is *dipped* vs. sprayed. Although it is dipped, it doesn't have runs or anything. If I'm not mistaken, it's about 8mil thick when done ??? (I may be wrong on that though). The pricing from here includes chemical stipping, all prep work, and E-coat. It is SWEET, to say the least. It is perfect for getting behind places that you normally can't get to to paint, etc. ECoat The owner, Jimmy O'Conner is a great guy to deal with. Highly recommended.

Re: ECOAT !!
My friend had his 56 Chevy frame done in powdercoat. What he didn't expect but got was all the rusted pock marks. You cannot fill them with filler as the filler would not be able to carry an electrical charge I guess..Looks good but looks like an old rusted frame that was powdercoated..ps looks nothing like original which by the way on Camaros at least is asphalt based and looks nothing like what everyone uses as it's not durable at all...I liken it to thinned out driveway sealer.T
