    powder coating
    « on: November 18, 2011 - 01:45:07 PM »
    Would it be possible to powder coat an entire shell of a car? I know a powder coater that has an oven 25 ft long and he can do a primer powder coating. What do you think?

    I wouldn't advise powder coating for the outside of a car.  Over time the coating will fade and actually become chaulky.  That's why you never hear of it.  For stuff inside and under the car you can't beat the durability and the look but I would steer clear of the outside body panels until someone perfects a petter process.  Good luck

    I would only consider powdercoating the underside of the car if the body has been dipped. Once the powder is on ,the surface will have to be backed at 200`C.  At that temperature all grease, undercoating and other pollution will come boiling out of every seam, resulting in no paint in those areas.

    Please keep us posted.

    When are you supposed to have the car back from the powdercoater?

    Tropical cats said his powder coater can powdercoat a Primer coat.

    I would assume this would mean you would be able to paint over the primed powdercoat.

    I am familiar with photo bucket.

    There are a few great threads here that tell you how to use photobucket.

    Pm me if you can't find any of them.

    Right the guy I use said I would want to talk with the guy painting my car if he wanted to go over a powder coat but he did say he could do a primer powder that we would have no trouble with.

    Don't think you would have any worry with the heat warping the metal, it is a fairly  low temp in the oven Normally the powders cure at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes.
