If you were to dip your stuff, go with Redi Strip, their process if great and it actually last because they follow thru all their steps to make sure everything is right. You could always just media blast your stuff, A LOT cheaper in the end, takes a lot longer though. Redi strip will cost you around $5000 Can. so cheaper for you American's and it's several parts, so you can either choose the cleaning, derusting, or primering. It's up to you, for all 3 of them though, it's upwards of 5G's.
