Seeking Opinions and Experiences Concerning Dipping vs. Blasting?

I am not close to ready to do this to my car, but I was reading some old threads (which were closed for replies - thus this new thread) on this topic.

The older threads seemed to (mostly) reach the conclusion that the dipping path was leaden with treacherous potential side effects that could ruin a restoration years later as un-neutralized acid creeped out, ruining paint jobs, or bare metal that could not be reached with new paint rusted.

I am curious if this is still the case.

It seems to me that dipping would be out of the question unless you follow it up with an E-coat step that protects the shell and all metal that cannot be reached by anything other than a liquid into which the car is submerged.

Any thoughts/experiences here on dipping + e-coating?
