I don't know the price for scooters, but cars run to about £800. It is supposed to be the ultimate in corrosion removal & protection.

yeah that is the nuts

Huge irrelevance but very interesting / confusing to me, is that my frame is full of ancient hazel nut shells - hundreds of them.

perhaps start a thread of other strange things found in / on scooters.

Was the previous owner a Mr S. Quirrel?

I asked about a Indian gp frame and panel work about three years ago, (they are a few miles away from me) from memory it was about £400.00. I think the priming was extra. He sounded like they have done lambrettas before, as he mentioned that there were alot of parts

Any experience of these people Mr Fandango?

I've contacted them in the past and I'm sure they also do chemical stripping. Whether that's the same as dipping I don't know. But worth checking out.

i found this site -

Don't forget the title of the thread.
The clever bit isn't stripping the paint & chemically converting the rust, it's e-coating the inside of the frame, and all the places you can't reach with sprayed paint.
If you don't protect inside the frame, the corrosion process starts all over again.
