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. |

Oh that car!
If you really want to make it clean underneath and protect it, then repaint everything with the Undercarriage POR 15 stuff. It wears like iron and is pretty easy to apply. Of course preparation is 90% of the effort. The only “but” is that whatever POR 15 goes on - it will stay on - including you, so be careful. Maybe you can borrow Britain’s rotisserie for a day; that would be the trick - and give him incentive to get his 912 off….. |
