I don't know whether you want to do it yourself or send it out, but I came across this company in a thread about acid dipping.
It's called Nor-Cal Metal Stripping. It's in California
Address: 10010 OLD REDWOOD HWY
Windsor CA
tel # 707-838-9470
 The guy in the thread said it's just north of Santa Rosa right on 101  :dunno:
 Don't know if this will help you but it may be a start  :thumbsup:

115 is just as bad as 95 with humidity. Both equally uncomfortable. I had never seen real fireflies or heavy snow until I moved here.

I actually moved out here for work. I miss many things about CA, but I like NC as well.

i have been to the east many times,i used to have a sales territory of the entire US and canada,13 years ago.The fireflies are cool.You pay a price for all that greenery all summer with humidity,but atleast its not all brown like here during the summer.I was in Chicago all last week for a salesmeeting,it was very green there too :thumbsup:

There's a co. in Illinois, close to St. Louis that will dip a whole hood for $75 so I'm sude the deck lids would be alot cheaper.
