Default Acid dipping in Houston.

I know of a few shops that do media blasting ,etc... I know of one shop that allegedly does acid dipping of whole cars. I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that can acid dip a car. Preferably in the Houston area.

Thanks.

Hey man, i know its not in Houston, but theres a place called Metal Rehab in Arlington.
Their number is 817 466 3376 if you want to call them and get some ideas, or maybe they know of a reputable shop in Houston. I hope that helps a little.

Don't know of any shops doing acid dipping, but I've known a few parties that partake.

J-Rod, what exactly would you want to acid dip an entire car for?

Got a name or a number? I'm prepared...


The car is down to the shell already. I just want to neutralize all the rust in the hard to reach areas. I fully expect to replace a lot of metal in the car.

It'd be a lot smarter and cheaper to find a cleaner car, honestly. But, its my first race car, it has a lot of good memories, and I've had it all this time so I'd rather try to save it if I can.
