I was
told of a web site that shows a guy that found a company that acid dipped the
frame and then galvanized it. I would think this would get the rust inside the
frame parts where you can't get to sandblast. I wouldn't think of galvanaizing
unless I could get all of the rust off first and an acid dip sounds like the way
to do it.
Of
course you could always acid dip and then powder coat too I would
think?
Anyone
else ever done that or seen anyone? I am considering this myself for my
69.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] powder coating 65 frame
From what I’ve heard and read, powder coating is a better process than painting, unless you are going for originality. I sandblasted and painted the frame of my ‘69 and it turned out great. But who knows how long the finish will last on the street. I will tell you that sandblasting, if you do it yourself, is very time consuming and labor intensive. I did mine in my driveway and boy were my neighbors happy. If I had to do it again, I would find someone who did it for a living and have it powder coated, I just love how clean and neat a good powder coat job looks.

I could use some help and advice. I am thinking of powder coating my 65 Malibu's frame and would like to know pros and cons of doing it, where to look to have it done (I am in Las Vegas, NV), and cost. Would I be better off sand blasting the frame and painting it? Any help is welcome. Thanks.
