Has anyone ever had their e9 dipped to remove paint and rust? I am considering this option. The car has the front fenders, rear quarter panels, top of nose (at front) and rocker covers removed (as well as hood, boot, and doors). There are a lot of hidden areas that I believe would be difficult to get at with media/sand blasting (inside the 'A' pillars, , back sides of rocker structure and some areas around the nose, etc). I would not dip the roof - amazingly it has absolutely no rust - to avoid disturbing all the foam padding between the structure and roof skin.
It seems the biggest controversy surrounding dipping relates to the seams and later leakage into the paint. As it stands most of the seams on the car have approximately 50% surface rust, more or less. So they are not that pristine to begin with. None of the outer skin pieces would be dipped, so this is probably not an issue.
Any good or bad experiences out there?
Here is link to the process as described by a "local" company.
