i'm planning to have my honda civic esi 95 model strip-to-metal (body repair/repaint) due to numerous rusting on roof and both sides. i'm from calamba laguna...
my querries are:
1. list of popular shops doing strip-to-metal
2. price of strip-to-metal
i have canvassed here in sta rosa laguna (BOSCH services). Dupont strip-to-metal costs P40TH EXCLUDING any additional parts.
Sir may I advise you not to have your car stripped to metal. They use paint strippers and solvents in removing the old paint and they just wash it with plain water (not thoroughly at that) and not a solution to completely neutralize the paint stripper. Being corrosive this weakens the composition of the metal. In 2 to 3 years time you'll see bubbles and rust forming on the body of your car. If you can find a body shop that has sand blasting equiptment to strip the old paint then its ok. Other wise dont have it stripped to bare meta.
