I need a shell dipping or blasting to get it back to bare metal. I am in cheshire if anyone knows of anywhere localish to me?
Just flick through yellow pages, and local sand blaster should be able to do it.

Ive had 4 cars done this way. normally about £500 a pop for the blasting.

JUST MAKE SURE THEY USE LOW PRESSURE BLAST

My S1 rst came back with warped pannels cos of an over trigger happy blaster

a few of my
"blasts"
before


blasted and zinced


5 litres of diamond white



1949beetle before

after


To save money id just recomend zinc coating it immediatly after the blast as i did.
A dip is very expensive and i dont think is much more benificial for the cost involved.
