Re: [FWDLK] Frame powder coating..

[Brent Burger <cgico@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

I am wondering if any of the readers have any experience with powder coating of frames. What are the negatives of that process versus imron?  I painted my '33 Plymouth frame with two coats of Imron 20 years ago and it still looks like new with no chips etc.  But now it seems that the process of powder coating, which I have investigated, promises to provide more thorough coverage and equally strong or better adhesion.

 

Any comments will be appreciated.     Marv

    The negative is that it is not workable after it is applied.  While durable, it does fail - most typically at corners and joints.  One cannot "repair" any spot problems without a total sandblast and do-over. 

 

    Paint, on the other hand, can be spot worked easily.
