Thread: Powder coat or not??.

Tweet

Like they say, small pieces are great to powder. When it comes to paint I used Eastwood ceramic paint for mine. I got what they call the best. They say it won't chip. It does. But what ya gonna do. To me ceramic will chip easier than other paints due to flexability. Just my thought here.
It's pouring to beat the band here. Glad I live on a hill.

The chassis for my car is powder coated - but I did start with all new steel rather then an original. I had painted it but it wasn't holding up to dropped tools, fasteners or other 'errors'. I took it to a powder coater locally (Powder Tech, Duanesburg, NY) that specializes in doing race car chassis. They did an entire media blast to white metal, leaving a good 'tooth' then did the coating. Another member here, Arrowhead, had his '33 Factory 5 done there as well. We are both extremely happy with the job done. Now, had I used an 80 year old rebuilt OEM frame, I would not have had the powder coating done as those chassis' have too many age related cracks and hidden rust.

One of many articles available for review: How to Powder Coat - Powder Coating Manual | Powder Coating Help, information and powder coating advice, others to do with flexibility are found using this Google search term: powder coating flexibility. It is a flexible coating!!!!
