Many thanks for your enquiry. Our costs to process your Mk II Escort would be as follows:

 

To chemically clean the bodyshell and panelwork £695.00 + VAT

 

We can also offer a priming service as follows:

 

To zinc phosphate and electrophoretic coat (immersion primer) – Recommended £775.00 + VAT

 

So all in all..£815 + £910 = £1725

well if they are the same people im thinking of, there prices have doubled!

 

hmmmm what the hell does eveyone else do? how do they remove all the rust in the chassis rails and areas you can get to, and all the good bits of metal with surface rust?

 

theres got to be other companies offering the same thing?

Have you thought about plastic media blasting/soda blasting? It's far superior to old shotblasting. Try Cleaning Consultants in Billingshurst, W Sussex. They might be able to help you out.

aparantly acid dipping can runin your car, my dads m8 had acar dipped, painted all the rest, looked mint. one day started falling apart , ths was because they didnt get it painted with special ( think its special ) paint / primer later on that day. tbh i dont know the full story, but i would read up on it
