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. |

As does ANY paint (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Powder coated parts are generally blasted or chemically cleaned. Do it and never worry about it again. The stuff is much tougher than paint and even when chipped it will greatly slow down rust whereas paint will let rust creep under. I know it stands up to heat and gas/oil very well as my engine cooling tin and fuel pump are coated (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |
