Who sells clean sheetmetal in Houston, Tx - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need some sheetmetal to make patches on my truck but want to use clean sheeymetal that has that natural finish. I believe it is call (pickled in oil) and not that black sheetmetal.

Pieces would be great but I would settle with a 4x8 sheet.

Thanks

There are quite a few places in town. We use Great Western since its right off I-45 and the Belt way south. They are kind of High priced though but they sell exotic metal to.
S&S is ok

Actually Pickling is an acid bath, then they passivate it and the oil is just to prevent rust.

Rose steel off I-10 and Taylor used to have it Thats where we used to buy it from. they sell partial sheets
