Dipping and e-coating sources?

[MGKelly]

Are there any shops that still offer this service?
I remember metalfinishing.com offered the service, but they stopped when they put the business for sale.

Thanks, Joe

Do you mean Powder Coating?

No not powder coating it is an electroplating process where the vehicle is submerged in a solution which adheres to the metal. Leaves a film that inhibits rust just like the coating on replacement body panels. Thanks, Joe

It is called E-coating, and can be done after the body is "acid dipped or bath". It is a great place to start when trying to build a very nice car. In my opinion, I would refer to " Hemmings Motor News
and go to the section of the book that says "services offered" and look for that service, and you should find some place that is some what close to where you live. Good luck with your project!
