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. |

Primer is not required. Each shop has their own way of doing things...their way works for them.
Trailing arms are not the best thing to powdercoat. Powdercoat chips differently than paint and they will certainly get hit. Powdercoat tends to flake off with a bit of rust under it. Primer will help with that but I would just paint them. -Rich Hilgersom |
