Was thinking of having some trailing arms powder coated. Got two estimates from local shops. Cheaper one claimed that they didn't need to put a primer coat on before the finish coat as it wasn't necessary, the finish coat adheres well enough by itself. More expensive shop claimed that an epoxy or polyurethane primer was absolutely necessary. Any advice from the past experience out there?

Thanks,

Andrew B.

Lawrence, what is this metal wash you speak of? I need something to coat my chassis in as after I get it sandblasted. I have to be able to weld over it though. May just have to leave it bare and then come in and blast it again when I am finished.
