Hi Guys,
I am aware of "Minus Paint" in SA and Redistrip in NSW but was wondering if there is a similar service anywhere in Brisbane or close by ?
thanks in advance

Hi Gary, Nope, after the whole body dip caper that gets rust and paint from all the nooks and crannies that can't be seen or blasted.

Thanks for the suggestion Gary!
I think I saw something about Envirostrip recently, but have not chased them up as yet.
The thing blasting can not do is get in between seams etc when corrosion might be lurking, that's the main thing I'm concerned about with my 38 coupe, there's a few areas where i know it would look great after blasting, but I know there is stuff lurking that I want to resolve long before we get to primer and paint.

The dip is acid I believe. It gets into nooks and crannies and stays there and continues to eat away I'm told. Strip the car to a bare shell and take your chances with the blasting of your choice. I didn't because there were no guarantees of no panel warping. So I just went with paint stripper that got it all back to bare metal before epoxy sealing.

I've had shell and panels media blasted, if the guy knows what he is doing there will be no issues, most won't do a bonnet or roof as they are risky. Also its more work but paint strip any panels you are worried about first, then there is far less pressure from the blaster needed to clean it up.
After getting a guard dipped I wouldn't do anything with a seam in it. After it still had some rust hidden inside back of guard I separated the reinforced bit from it and the seam was still full of some liquid

Stories abound about the problems with dipping.
Just as they do with warpage from blasting.
After doing some research, I would go dipping if I had the bucks.
They start by dipping on an alkaline solution. That softens and removes paint etc.
It is then cleaned and neutralised with water.
Then it gets the phosphoric acid dip, dried and shipped off.
The acid dip follows the normal procedure for the rust convertor that lots of people use these days.
I highly doubt the stories of the acid coming out down the track.
If the proper process is followed, everything is dry, and actually neutralised anyway.
I would do it myself.
I reckon it gives the best results looking through what I have researched.
Probably the closest would be Albury.
Been a while since I looked at it though.
Ive been running it through my brain as something I may even set up myself in the future.
Remember. Everywhere the chemicals get t, the neutraliser gets to as well. Water in the first instance.
Cheers
Rob
