Hi Jonathon
I was happy with the results both times I used them, I did see a couple of reports of the E-primer not adhearing properly, but all the stuff they primed for me was fine.
I went for the immersion process rather than blasting for a number of reasons;
1)Blasting is great for simple panels; but you can't blast inside box sections, and sometimes its difficult to get effective blasting on some complex shapes.
2) The immersion process gets rid of everything that is not solid steel (you may not want this, as for example joints made of lead will be dissolved, as will any aluminium parts)
3) The E-primer process (if they are doing it again) is the same process that modern car manufacturers use; it should get primer into every cavity and box section.
It’s not cheap and if you have the time, space and can deal with the mess you could strip a car body at home and get it 95% “as well” stripped as an immersion process at a fraction of the cost.
