Look for sealants that are specifically designed for post-dipping treatment. Some options are epoxy or urethane-based sealers. Make sure to read up on reviews!
That’s super helpful, thanks! What about the potential environmental impact of acid dipping? Is it something I should consider?
Definitely a concern, kserrano! Make sure the shop you choose follows all environmental regulations. Proper disposal of acid and leftovers is crucial to avoid harm.

It’s hard to keep track of this stuff sometimes, haha! I want to enjoy the process, not worry about legal issues!
Totally relate, lclark! The last thing you want is to have a great looking Chevy and then deal with a fine. Having a great shop can take away a lot of those worries.
I’m considering acid dipping my Chevy too! I heard it can cost around $300 to $800 depending on the shop. Anyone here had experience with it?

I had mine done at a local place for $500. They did a great job with minimal damage to the underlying metal.
I’ve been hearing mixed reviews about acid dipping. Some say it’s great for rust removal but can lead to other issues if not done correctly. What should I look out for?

It really depends on the shop. I had a positive experience with a place that took their time and explained every step. Just do your research!
Has anyone tried acid dipping for street racing purposes? I’m curious about how it affects the performance of the car afterward.

I thought acid dipping was just a fancy term for lazy bodywork! But seriously, it’s vital to choose a reputable shop. Prices vary widely, so get quotes.
Absolutely! The shop I used was recommended by a friend and had high ratings online for customer service.
I paid $400 for acid dipping. While it wasn’t cheap, I was impressed by the results! My Chevy looks like new.
Sounds like it’s worth it! Did you notice any issue with rust coming back after a few months?
I’ve heard that if the acid is not neutralized properly, it could lead to future rust. Make sure the shop does a thorough job!
That’s a good point! I’m planning to call a few places this week to ask about their processes.
