This is the only way one can truely say it's a "rust free" car. Dipping in a non acid base chemicals is by far the only way to go on any full restoration. I go to sleep happy knowing I am giving back my client a true rust free 911.

The final rinse is done with phosphate which leaves behind the brown color.

That must be a really nice feeling to know that parts you'll never see again are sleeping quietly rather than a potential storm raging just below the surface.

Freddie - first off - your work is amazing. I love the Slate Gray - OK - every car in this thread. Can you share on the process of stripping paint? This last car looks like it was dipped - I know in earlier posts you had sanded down bodies. Everyone learns better ways to get the work done - and the process improves - just wondering how you deal with heater tubes etc. Awesome work.

beautiful, as usual. But also a question...
I noticed when I stripped my car that it appeared to have a lighter/brighter yellow under the Talbot Yellow top coat. Wondering what colors you use a base coat for and do you always use white?
