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 |

My name Barry, and i powdercoated pat"s plenums. I asked pat to send it back and i would prep and recoat it free of charge. I did not recieve a reply back. I stand by my workmanship as a "hobbyist powdercoater" I have been coating for over 3 years and have done many small jobs for porsche friends and forum members only. Its my hobby that i enjoy and want to continue doing so. I cant for the life of me figure out how it became scratched or worn off in shipping by paper. Anyway, pat if your reading this please give me the opportunity to make it right. Ill even sandblast it with my media which is glass beads and not sand, to keep it from pitting, to remove the powder. Its a bitch, but ill take care of it.
