No media needed. The only thing I have my question marks by is the heat it will produce in the material.

Does anyone have an experience with this technique?

I have seen 5 or 6 cars dipped they come back perfectly stripped, every area of the car is stripped. Inside the frame an all the hard areas. Then weld it up they dip it again, then it gets dipped in e-coat. The car is perfect. Jmo
