Does it work? Is it a good idea? Heat an issue?or is it best to just paint them. I want them done once and done right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still can achieve a good result, just as long as you prep the area well.Powder coating will take a day or 2 and if they don't cover the holes properly it will be very hard to put it back together.That's my 2 cents, good luck mate.

I supose its what you want, if you can afford to get it powder coated then sure why not....im sure the best person to speak to is the person powder coating it to see if its suitable etc......after all they "shoud" know what powder coating can and cannot do lol Edited 26/06/13 02:25 PM by jas98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
