Hi maxi.man,

Does the process just remove the rust or does it remove the area of metal that is affected ?.

[maxi.man]

it removes all the rust  back to fresh metal it is truly impressive like new metal the shell is now a hell of a lot lighter and easily moveble but found a few more dents i wasnt aware of i would definately recomend can send pics  but it is of a renault 5 shell

As posted in the Projects Section, the old girl is now on her side in the garage and had been waiting for me to take a wire brush etc to her to remove the paint back to bare metal.

I had really, really wanted to take it to SPL in the Midalnds to be stripped back to speed up the resto. But financially that process was out of my reach? at approx ?1500 ( inc transport etc )? .

However I have now found a company in Preston that can provide, a similar but not exactly the same, process for ?650 + Vat. Went over there today to have a look around the premises and to see some of the work they have done.

Quite impressed, even though they are a smallish company, the guy seemed to be want to do a good job. Saw some panels through various stages and he even had a Lotus Cortina shell that had been part treated.

Am going to drop off an old rear panel for them to treat soon and I'll report back with pics once done.

Sounds interesting Mick, Preston is much closer to both of us too  The price is definitely much more affordable too.

Yeah, I don't think that's a bad price either. OK, it doesn't get quite the same treatment it would do at SPL, but it gets rid of the rust.
