Powder Coating - stuff
I'm having a lot of parts powder coated, and a good number of parts professionally painted too. Both places do nice work, though the PC is faster. What do you guys think of powder coating the steering linkage (pictured)? Vs paint, and your experience of?
PC may look better (matches chassis etc.), but with potential tolerances and that, seems more area can be finished if they're painted. Potential education..........long story short, I jumped the gun having my A/C brackets powder coated. Then I read someplace 200 degrees or look for a finish besides PC. I was going to strip them, but after talking to a guy who knows builds real well, he thinks they'll be fine because the temp. they took in an oven. I'm going to use them as is, though I'll redo the A/C bracket which mounts to the exhaust manifold. Time will tell. Other than that ![]()
