We don't do either anymore. Zero-Rust on bare metal then a semi-gloss finish over that. Powder is too thick for brake clips and, the base as the arms fit into the crossbar.

Powder is too thick for brake clips and, the base as the arms fit into the crossbar. +1 I had my A arms powder coated and cleared. I had to sand at least the clear away, being very careful not to expose bare metal, to get the ball joints to seat. Also, getting the sway bar bushings in was hard. Plus -- Powder can't be touched-up if you ever want to, it needs to be blasted and coated all over again. If I had to do it again, I'd get them blasted at a job shop and then paint them in my attic...or maybe take the $$ I would spend getting them powdercoated and buy myself a blast it all! |
