Summary for e-coating service Discussion
E-coating service is the focus of this RFQ, with Jimmy Canton asking who currently does e-coating for stampings, car parts, and bodies and mentioning he had heard of a shop in the Carolinas that baked-dipped for rust and e-coated for finish. The page also includes an older related question from Brook C, who wanted a shop to e-prime a stripped 1970 Chevelle body. In the reply, the answerer says they do not know of any aftermarket e-coating shops and suggests the process is probably expensive to set up for individual cars of varying sizes. They advise that the car may need a different kind of priming instead, and suggest looking in Hemmings Motor News for a possible lead. The editor notes that the RFQs are outdated but technical replies are welcome, and public commercial suggestions are not posted.
RFQ: Who currently does your e-coating? Thank you.I heard of one in the Carolinas. I found their site once but cannot re-find it. They baked-dipped for rust, e-coated for finish. Would appreciate even current e-coaters. Thank you

What technology was used for the stripping, Brook — media blasting, rather than immersion?
I don’t know of any aftermarket e-coating shops myself; it’s probably expensive to rig the lines for individual cars of varying dimensions. I think you may end up having to do a different kind of priming, but maybe you can find a lead in Hemmings Motor News. Good luck.

A. 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’s a link to a Charger being restored: www.69hemi.com/sheet.html
The company that dipped this car is Restoration Specialties in Milwaukee, WI. I have never used them, nor contacted them, but you might want to try.

RFQ: Have a large government contract for coil springs that require e-coating and CARC coating. Need to find a vendor that can supply both coatings in one facility. CARC would require liquid dip not spray. Contract is for 15 months with more to come.

This is a very small sampling of what we will need to have done for next months’ requirements. We work within the entertainment industry and will have a wide variety of needs located close to our customer.

RFQ: Need a ‘job shop’ type service that can e-coat classic car parts. Parts range in size from hoods, fenders, doors, and trunk lids…to whole auto bodies (disassembled of course). Prefer a service company that also does the pre-cleaning before e-coating (dip/strip or oven bake-off) to bring parts to bare metal first. Right now I use two separate companies to do the stripping/cleaning and e-coating.

RFQ: Hello.
I’ve noticed that the companies that do this e-coating are all back east. One would think that as many cars here in So. Calif., there would be several companies out west offering this service to people who would like this process applied to their car. Can anyone post some names of companies here in Orange County if any or even So. Calif. would work?
Thanks, Joe
