Most of you know how negative I've been about powder coating. Well, I dipped my toe in the water & bought some very nice early intake plenums that had been powder coated. Apparently the coating wore off in several places during shipment (packed in paper). They're nice, but they will need to be refinished.
Questions here are: How difficult is powder coating to remove? Can it readily be painted over? If so, suggested process? Pat |

Pat Pat, The company I work for sends our aluminum extrusions to Valmont Industries for powder coating. I called our local sales manager in Southern California with your questions and here is what he said: How difficult is powder coating to remove: It can be done but might be difficult depending on your local environmental laws. There are effective strippers available to remove the paint but most states are no longer permitted to use. You may want to check with a local plater to see if they are permitted to use such chemicals.. Sandblasting is another option but may cause pitting. Can it readily be painted over? If so, suggested process? He is not certain if it can be done but you would need to remove enough paint to allow for electrostatic conductivity. He said he would not recommend this as the powder is thick and needs a good bare or chem film surface to adhere to. Hope this helps.. Raul |
