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 |

Wow, Wore off in shipping? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I just had these wheels powder coated last week. The powder guy had some blow through onto the polished lip. I had to use a hard buffing wheel with black diamond to get it off! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) A couple places I had to sand off and re-polish the wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So your discription does not match what I had to do to my wheels at all.
 Now, You can paint over the powder. You will have to sand blast or sand with like 180 grit for the paint to get enough tooth to hang on to the powder. One other thing. One of the 928 guys blasted and powder coated his intake, bolted it to the car and destroyed his engine with the grit that was lodged in the intake. Intake parts need special care. |
