acid dipping
mads - 9/10/08 at 06:10 AM

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.

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

I found a local place to derust my donor parts. Im led to believe there are a few places about.

Can bodycote do it?
