Try my friends at Metal Rehab. This is NOT Acid! It is a liquid process that is not a caustic Acid. For example, they have taken old die's that were thrown out and freshened up and put back in service. I had all the removable parts off my car stripped. Then you have a choice to send the body directly to a body shop for prep and paint or you can have an epoxy primer applied to keep the parts from rusting until ready. My body shop had to remove the paint off the main body but the other parts were ready for surface fill, prime and paint.
