E-Coating or Electrophoretic Painting/coating or EPD.

This is what the automotive industry uses to coat and protect car bodies and panels from rust. It virtually makes cars rust proof for a decade or 2 in normal use and probably 50+ years or more if taken care of like a show car.


Its gathering popularity in the states. My questions is, does anyone in Australia do it.

I want to get my notch chemically striped and treated, Rust repair, then go through EPD process to rust proof it. Carry on with normal body work and painting after that.

So far only place I have found is this mob. I doubt they have experience with car shells.:crazy:
