acid dipping

Hey up all,
got myself a trailer and want to get it acid dipped and then powder coated. have a couple of questions...

1) is this the best option to get rid of old paint?
2) is powder coating the best option?
3) anyone know somewhere around worcestershire or birmingham area that does it cheaply?
4) any ideas on the cost?


thanks all.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Sand blast, then hot zinc spray... Would cost though about 300 notes, there is a place in oxford that will do it.

I'd go for dip and glavanize - plenty of places to get it done, and fairly low maintenance

Cheers
