WE OFFER FREE TEST DIPPING
If there is any doubt about our process working or not we recommend doing a "Test Dip" on a small piece. This we show us what the outcome of dipping will be on your project before bringing the entire car to us.

All pre 1972 lacquer automotive paints.
With the one exception of Mopar products from 1964 forward.
We dipped a 1978 Ford Pickup cab with original paint and stipped if fine.
-
Our basic rule of thumb is anything newer then early 1070's we my not be able to remove.
Due to the infinite number of variables we never really know what the out come will be on any part.
Here is a list of items we have trouble removing:
- Urathaine paints: mostly they don't come off, some of them do come off fairly well
- Imron: our process will not remove it.
- Power Coating: our process will not remove it
- Base / Clear Coat paints: mostly we cannot remove it, sometimes it is removed well. Sanding the surface layer before dipping commonly works very well for our process to remove it.
- Undercoatings: sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn't, don't count us removing this part
- Bond & Fillers: depends on the thinkness, our process will remove most of it when it's thiner coated

1978 Ford Pickup Cab
This is a great example of a vehicle much newer than 1970 coming totally clean.
We did a "test dip" on some gas doors off this truck for the customer before he brought the cab down from Olympia, Washington.
Original paint on it.

FREE TEST DIPPING
Gas doors are one of the most commen pieces we test dip.

Newer Paints
Here is a same of something with new paints. A Suzuki motorcycle gas tank.
We are always very up front with customers that our process might not fully remove the paint.
He was still very please because it did fully cleaned the inside and took care of the rust.
-
Newer Paints
Here is another great example of how newer paints will not come off in our process.
A Kawasaki gas tank.
Very few customer bring us newer car parts or older parts with newer paints on them.
Gas tanks are the one thing we dip often that do not come clean.
Mainly due to the need for the cleaning of the entire inside and rust issues.
-
Bondo
Bondo is something that can be removed in our process.
However, we cannot guarantee it will remove it or all of it.
Most of the time if it's thinner it will be mostly if not completely removed.
Many times much of the remaining bondo dries, cracks, and brakes apart afterwards.
