Looking to get all the removable panels acid dipped, boot, bonnet, wings, valance, doors, to get rid of the several coats of primer/paint/stonechip they have had over the years.

What preparation/treatment would be needed between the dipping and priming stage?

Don't the "dippers" normally e-coat all the bits? That's what X-works did with his shell.
