The process of preparing a car for painting can be done in various ways, but the most thorough approach is to dip the vehicle in acid after stripping it down to bare metal. This method is effective for removing all paint, rubber, glue, and filler that is not metal.
3S Chemicals LLC from Nanty-Glo, Pennsylvania, carries out this process in three stages: first, the car is cleaned with a degreaser and paint remover. Then, it is treated with a food-safe rust remover. Finally, it is dipped in a rust inhibitor to protect the metal until painting.
The Minute_of_Dangle channel on YouTube showcased this entire process on a Porsche 911 from 1972, demonstrating how old paint and rust are removed in an impressive manner.

The car had several layers of old paint and rust, which were removed with a high-pressure washer and multiple acid dips. During the footage, large chunks of paint layers can be seen coming off during the process.
The entire acid-dipping process takes about six weeks, using environmentally safe products. This method is considered one of the best ways to prepare a car for a new paint job, ensuring that the surface is clean and ready for the final finish.
