Acid dip experience???

If you acid dip your car it will quickly rust out. If that is what you want, acid dip it.

Im not sure this is fair to say, wouldn't it depend on how the car is stored after? location (think Ariziona)? specific dipping process? How detailed you wanted to get when painting the cleaned car?

I've got a hood that was dipped sitting in my non-heated shop for years now and it has barely anything surface crud on it
