Being in the Detroit area I would think it would be great. Would this be thru the PPG Developement Center? Would it be capable of dipping body shells?

There is a place in Clinton township that can do smaller parts (and they do OEM work) but their tanks are not capable of dipping body shells. A large bonus is a chemical dip tank for one stop shopping.

Considering how few companies actually do this kind of work, especially at a reasonable price, the business, if handled right, could do rather well. The midwest alone between Illinios, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan should keep you busy.

It would solve the biggest issues in stripping a car. Cars that are chemically stripped and not e-coated tend to either leak the chemical stripper long after the dip from the chemical staying in the seams. This, and when sprayed with primer, the primer can not get into the seams and small hidden pockets that are in a stamped and welded shell.

Cars that are media blasted still have area that rust will not be removed from due to the limitations of the blast nozzle.

The best way is chemical dip with a multistep e-coat process. I hope this becomes reality and that the business does well. If you go forward, e-mail me some info and pricing (swifster@sbcglobal.net)
