Re: Strip n Dip Russell wrote: Where's Erasmo? His car is galvanised. *drumrolls* Here he is!  This is where I drive around in on a daily base:  My new 2CV. by Erasmo..., on Flickr As you can see it's a mix of dip and e-coat. The body and more sturdier parts are dipped and the other stuff is e-coated. The distortion of the body itself isn't that bad but for example the front wings are a bit under tension when mounted. If you want to know about specific places of the body just let me know and I'll take a picture of it for you.

Re: Strip n Dip Corr! For some reason, all these sexy pics are reminding me of an old Roger Mellie strip in Viz, where he deputises for a drunk Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, and his review of the new Ferrari Testosterossa ends up with him shagging the car! TwoFiftyAZU: yes I did see the Volvo. Bloody beautiful! (BTW how's your van project coming along?) But remind me, is E-coating the same as "powder coating", where an electrical charge is put on the metal, then it's coated with powder, and then baked?

Re: Strip n Dip Smiffy, we'd know 'E-coating' as electroplating, much kinder to relatively thin, flat panels than dunking them in molten zinc at 450*C. However, the coating thickness is usually only about 15 microns, compared to 85 microns with the hot dip process. ken Erasmo's car is the business, wish I could find the time to do the same to a Dyane. No more welding, painting or Waxoyling. Deep joy...

Re: Strip n Dip How long do they spend with a set of taps cleaning the threads out? That must be the hardest part of the whole process!

Re: Strip n Dip I quite like the idea of a galvanised 2cv. I am also stumped as to how to go about it Could you pai t over the galvy ? I love the look of yours erasamo but I like mine red and white I geuss our dear repair panel suppliers wouldn't be on support of this idea I wonder if there's anywhere in the uk you could get all this done?

Re: Strip n Dip Have emailed a Smethwick-based company (ie close to the very top of the M5, near Birmingham) asking for details and an indicative quote. (Wonder if they'll do bulk orders...?  ) TwoFiftyAZU: where did you get your Volvo done?
