Re: Frame paint or powder coat

My buddy is restoring an old Toyota and he had the frame powder coated by the main place in my area that does it.

I wasn't impressed at all with the quality. It seems very brittle and doesn't have much flex. Once it gets a rock chip it will just start flaking off I guess. There was a spot where a pinecone fell on it from a tree and I just took my finger and could keep flaking more and more off. Rust through in various spots.

Ive read you cant really paint over the chipped spots or repair the areas that do start to flake.

Its a no from me.
