Hello anyone heard of acid bathing for a car? I was wondering if anyone knows of any place that does it in Northern Virginia or close to it?

 

Sounds bad for your paint !

 

Ha, yeah it is....its where they completly remove everything from the car and dip the entire chassis into a huge tub of acid. I had a number for a place not far from where I live, but lost it and now I need to contact them.

It gets your car high.

 

it just removes all the paint so you have a clean surface to start from.

You are correct, but I guess no one knows anyplace that does this?

 

there are easier ways ... silicone your garage closed and make sure there are no leaks
then full it up with brake cleaner
does the same thing.. lol well rips off paint ... lol
btw why do you want to completely strip it?
ud need a complete empty shell to do so no?
ud screw up alot of things if you still have wires and what not still on the car.. and from what i know some wires are pretty much non seperable from your car unless you cut metal or wires...

 

Well the place that does it removes everything from the car enigne, interior and etc (bare chassis), and they do this with race cars when they are being put together and preped.

 

Acid bath is actually more popular for people restoring old hotrods... The acid dissolves any rust so its much easier to repair.

That is correct too, but I wanted to relate it to imports and how its used for import racing applications. So that someone wouldn't make any comments about this being a HT and all.

 

Or use brake fluid lol it will krikle and peel i know from experience.

 

DO NOT do this on a Honda!!!! Hondas are uni-body, meaning the body and its panels are all structural. It's not a body placed on a frame like some cars. Some of the body on hondas are held together with a strong glue and if you acid dip it you will end up with a pile of nice clean panels that was ones a car (not good).
