| | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 24 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 24 | I've decided to have the cab and doors dipped since these are the hardest parts to get all the rust out of with sandblasting. The only place I found that will do it wants 425 for the cab and 95 each for the doors. Is this a good deal? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 Bondo Artiste | | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 | Sounds pretty good to me, there is a place in town here called American Stripping, and they would charge right about the same.......
How long did they say they would take to it???

I still have it up on my desktop because it looks so cool. weekend cab cleaning I already pulled out my DA sander and am getting ready.

Leading to paint failure later on.
If you go that far I would have them dip it in primer as well to get everything coated inside and out. I think they first give it a neutralizing bath.
If you just leave with the bare cab rust will come back before you are home.
