Need Ecoat provider for my car body

I'm looking for a shop that can e-prime a car body. I restoring a 1970 Chevelle and had it stripped. Thanks,

What technology was used for the stripping. Brook?

I wish you luck but I've never seen an aftermarket e-coating shop myself; if one exists, it's probably a couple of thousand dollars to set up a run for a single 1970 Chevelle.

I think you may end up doing some different kind of repriming, but talk to a specialist in finishing of antique autos.

I am in the process of searching for an e-coating service capable of doing an entire car body as well, but locally to me, There is one that I am aware of that could be close enough to make it worthwhile to do your Chevelle, but that's up to you. (Here is a link to the Charger being restored: www.69hemi.com/sheet.html ) The company that dipped this car, Restoration Specialties in Milwaukee, WI, (414-529-1515) I have never used them, nor have I contacted them, but you might want to try.
