Thanks!

I sent them a request for a firm quote.I will ask them about turn-around,if it's cleaned up well after,etc.I have always heard about the dip coming back to haunt you,but maybe that's from not cleaning up correctly.Boyd's shop dipped all theirs that I saw,but who knows how the paint is on those cars now?

Yes clean up is the trick on dipping.. I have reworked a couple doors and decklids that were dipped and it not cleaned well due to hot weather it runs out stripping the paint.

Brent did this to his Ghia about 11 years ago.. It turned out great because i stripped everything, BUT that included the paint inside the heater channels and inside other areas that could not be reached with a spray gun. We had to drill holes in these areas and make a contraption to blow epoxy primer into them so it would not rust from the inside out.

It hasn't rusted at all..

The other issue was it eliminated all the lead filler the car had from the factory. This is not as big of a deal wioth a beetle, but a Ghia has a ton of factory lead in the body, especially around the roof section.

I'd have a car done this way, luckily the next car I am doing already has a perfect body that hasn't been on the road since 1967 and has been in dry storage every since.. It hasn't spent a night outside in over 40 years...
